Qedit Compiler Interfaces
Qedit edits compact files of a special format called workfiles. In order to be able to compile these files without doing a Keep command, you must “fix” the MPE compilers. This applies to the Classic 3000 compilers (CM), which might exist on either an MPE V or MPE/iX system, and the NM compilers on MPE/iX only. The methods and installation steps are quite different between the CM and NM Qedit compiler interfaces.
Many third-party tools either read Qedit files already (e.g., PowerHouse, MPEX) or can be altered to read Qedit files (techniques for doing this are discussed here).
