 9 Arguments:
10 paths
11    are the pathnames of segments to be compiled.
12 pascal_args
13    are control arguments accepted by the pascal command.
14 dp_args
15    are control arguments (except -delete) accepted by the dprint
16    command.
17 
18 
19 Control arguments:
20 -queue N, -q N
21    is the priority queue of the request.  The default queue is defined
22    by the system administrator.  See the Notes for a description of the
23    interaction with the dprinting of listing files.
24 -hold
25    do not dprint or delete any listing files.
26 -output_file path, -of path
27    put absentee output in segment path.
28 -limit N, -li N
29    specifies time limit in seconds for the absentee job.
30 
31 
32 Notes:
33 Control arguments and paths can be mixed freely and can appear anywhere
34 on the command line after the command.
35 
36 Unpredictable results can occur if two absentee requests are submitted
37 that simultaneously attempt to compile the same segment or write into
38 the same absout segment.
39 
40 
41 If the -queue control argument is not specified, the request is
42 submitted into the default absentee priority queue defined by the site
43 and, if requested, the listing files will be dprinted in the default
44 queue of the request type specified on the command line.  (If no
45 request type is specified, the "printer" request type is used.)
46 
47 If the -queue control argument is specified, and, if requested, the
48 listing files will be dprinted in the same queue as is used for the
49 absentee request.  If the request type specified for dprinting does not
50 have that queue, the highest numbered queue available for the request
51 type is used and a warning is issued.
