   [  Compiling and linking  ]

   Once the source files have been made, you must compile them into object
   files (file extension .NGO). If you've given each source file the file
   extension .ASC, this can be done by issuing the following command at the
   DOS prompt:

      ngxc *.asc


   To build the final database file, issue the command

      ngxl whatever.lcf

   where whatever.lcf is the name of the link file.



   The compilation step is required every time you change a source file
   (run NGXC on the source files you've modified). The link step is
   required whenever the link file or an .NGO file has been modified.


   The main purpose of the compilation and linking is to provide a set of
   file pointers that enables instant access to the database entries.
