It has two effects: <DL COMPACT> <DT>(a)<DD> provides an extra message to the effect that a function that is used but not defined anywhere might be an array which the user forgot to declare in a DIMENSION statement (since the syntax of an array reference is the same as that of a function reference). <DT>(b)<DD> modifies the form of the error messages and warnings. If the flag is turned off by <B>-nonovice</B>, these messages are printed in a style more resembling UNIX <B>lint</B>. </DL> <P> Default = yes. </DL> <P> <P><HR><P>Next: <A HREF="output.html">-output</A> </BODY></HTML>
