META.TXT        Information about the META compile process

  PF is configured to make it easy to META compile the kernel. All
you need to do is type the following at the DOS prompt:

                PMETA <enter>

  This will start a batch file that begins the meta compile process.
PF will be loaded, and it will in turn load META86.SEQ which will
compile the PF kernel. You will be prompted Yes or No on whether
symbols should be displayed, press Y or N as you wish.

  The compile will take a minute or so, somewhat longer if labels are
printed. A new file called PKERNEL.COM will be created in the current
directory. If PKERNEL.COM already exists, it will be overwritten.

  Having completed the meta compile process, you can now extend the
system to the full PF.EXE, by typing the batch file name:

                INSTALL <enter>

  PKERNEL.COM will be extended and installed for your current
directory structure, allowing VIEW to work from any directory, and
setting PF.EXE for the version of DOS you are using.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  As this system is currently configured, there is only a VERY SMALL
amount of memory remaining ( less than 2k ) after a meta compile.
Be carful about adding ANY new definitions to the kernel files, as
this can VERY EASILY result in a crash due to insufficient memory.

  The statistics printed at the end of the meta compile are obscure
to decipher, but if you subtract the first number printed from the
second number printed, that is HOST space remaining. The last number
printed is symbol space remaining. Both of these are very small.
( less than 1k )
