The rs274 stand alone interpreter is available for use via the command line.

1. Usage

Usage: rs274 [-p interp.so] [-t tool.tbl] [-v var-file.var] [-n 0|1|2]
          [-b] [-s] [-g] [input file [output file]]

    -p: Specify the pluggable interpreter to use
    -t: Specify the .tbl (tool table) file to use
    -v: Specify the .var (parameter) file to use
    -n: Specify the continue mode:
           0: continue

2. Example

To see the output of a loop for example we can run rs274 on the following file and see that the loop never ends. To break out of the loop use Ctrl Z. The following two files are needed to run the example.

test.ngc
#<test> = 123.352

o101 while [[#<test> MOD 60 ] NE 0]
(debug,#<test>)
    #<test> = [#<test> + 1]
o101 endwhile
