11 Arguments:
12 path
13    is the pathname of the input device description file.  The entryname
14    of the file must end with the suffix compdv, but the suffix need not
15    be given in the command.  The output segment is created (if it does
16    not already exist) in the working directory with an entryname formed
17    by replacing the suffix compdv with comp_dsm.  Multisegment files
18    and the star convention are not supported.

21 Control arguments:
22 -check, -ck
23    processes the input file, making all syntax checks and creating the
24    ALM source intermediate file, but do not invoke the ALM assembler
25    and do not delete the ALM source file.  The default is to invoke the
26    ALM assembler at the end of an error-free translation and to delete
27    the ALM source file.
28 -list, -ls
29    create an ALM assembly output listing for the translation.  The
30    default is no listing.
