OPTION$
FOCAL8-256

Horace D. Stephens, Waynflete School, Portland, Maine

This patch to FOCAL 5/69 (DECUS NO. FOCAL8-52a)
enables two OPTIONs, OPTION $ and OPTION F. OPTION
$ makes F a legal variable identifier and makes $ the function
label. (FSQT(4) becomes $SQT(4).) OPTION F restores F as
the function label and makes F an illegal variable identifier.
The patch will work with FOCAL 5/69 with or without the
extended functions and with or without DECUS NO. FOCAL8-
189. Two of FOCAL's OPTIONs must be replaced with this
patch, Information is included to permit the user to select
which OPTIONs to trade,
