.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Liszt
takes a file whose names ends in `.l' and compiles the F\s-2RANZ\s0 L\s-2ISP\s0
code there leaving an object program on the file whose name is that of the
source with `.o' substituted for `.l'.
.PP
The following options are interpreted by
.I liszt.
.TP
.B \-w
Suppress warning diagnostics.
.TP
.B \-q
Make the output quieter by suppressing statistics about the compilation
which are normally printed on the standard output.
.TP
.B \-o
Put the object code in the specified file, rather than the default `.o' file.
.TP
.B \-m
Compile a M\s-2ACLISP\s0 file, by changing the readtable to conform to
\s-2MACLISP\s0 syntax and including a macro-defined compatibility package.
.TP
.B \-S
Compile the named program and leave the assembler-language output on
the corresponding file suffixed `.s'.
.PP
If 
no source file is specified, then the compiler will run interactively.
You will find yourself talking to the 
.IR lisp (1)
top-level command interpreter.
You can compile a file by using the
function
.I liszt 
(an nlambda) with the same arguments as you use on the command line.
For example to compile `foo', a M\s-2ACLISP\s0 file, you would use:
.IP
(liszt \-m foo)
.PP
Note that
.I liszt
supplies the ``.l'' extension for you (since ``.'' is hard to type
in an atom name to
.I lisp.)
