3.7 The Program malsym

malsym can translate Malaga symbol files, i.e. files having the ending .sym or .esym. The translated file gets the suffix _l, _b, or _c, depending on the endianness of your processor.

For example:

     malsym english.sym
     

If you are translating an extended symbol file with the ending .esym, enter the name of the compiled symbol file after the command line option -use or -u:

     malsym english.esym -use english.sym
     

This argument is needed since extended symbol files are extensions of ordinary symbol files.

If you use the command line option -hangul when starting malsym, the symbol file and all the Malaga files that use it will split up Hangul syllables in individual letters internally. This option is invoked by malmake if the project file contains the line char-set: hangul.
