Usage

The fglmkmsg tool compiles a .msg message file into a .iem compiled version:
fglmkmsg mess01.msg
For backward compatibility, you can specify the output file as second argument:
fglmkmsg mess01.msg mess01.iem

The .iem compiled version can be used by BDL programs, for example, when the HELP clause is used in a MENU or INPUT instruction.
