.sh SYNOPSIS
.bd tmg
name
.sh DESCRIPTION
.it Tmg
produces a translator for the language whose parsing
and translation rules are described in file \fIname\fB.t\fR.
The new translator appears
in a.out and may be used thus:
.s3
.bd a.out
input [ output ]
.s3
Except in rare cases input must be a randomly
addressable file.
If no output file is specified, the standard output file
is assumed.

with which the Tmg processor or a Tmg-produced
processor can not cope result in a descriptive comment and 
a dump.
