Tangle: Translate WEB to Pascal
===============================

  Tangle creates a compilable Pascal program from a WEB source file
(Note: WEB).  Synopsis:

     tangle [OPTION]... WEBFILE[.web] [CHANGEFILE[.ch]]

The Pascal output is written to the basename of WEBFILE extended with
`.p'; for example, `tangle /wherever/foo.web' creates `./foo.p'.
Tangle applies CHANGEFILE to WEBFILE before writing the output; by
default, there is no change file.

  If the program makes use of the WEB string facility, Tangle writes the
string pool to the basename of WEBFILE extended with `.pool'.

  The Pascal output is packed into lines of 72 characters or less, with
the only concession to readability being the termination of lines at
semicolons when this can be done conveniently.

  The only options are `--help' and `--version' (Note: Common
options).
