+PROHST is a preliminary version of a utility to process the profile

+file produced by the PROFIL utility of MSDOS.

+Those of you familiar with MS-Pascal or MS-Fortran will have little

+difficulty in understanding how the parameters work. There are three,

+the .PRF filename, an optional histogram file (default extension .HST,

+default name same as the .PRF file) and an optional link map. If the

+link map was produced with the line number options PROHST will try

+and relate buckets to line numbers. Otherwise, it will relate it to

+module offsets. If you specify no map file (the default), addresses

+relative to the start of the program will be used. The default extension

+for the map file is .MAP.

+

+a:prohst f;

+

+this will produce a histogram for the file f.prf in f.hst and no map file

+will be assumed.

+

+a:prohst f,,;

+

+this will produce a histogram for f.prf in f.hst and expects a f.map file.

+

+a:prohst f,g,k

+

+this produces a histogram for f.prf in g.hst and expects a map file k.map.

+

+Note that if you select the map option with line numbers, the program will

+appear to be looping. Never fear, go and have lunch or some other time

+consuming pastime, and you will be suprised how long it took to produce

+such a small file. Also, some of the line number/bucket correspondances are

+not what they might be. Future version shoudl fix this. If you make a better

+version, be sure to let me have a copy.

+
