Coding IGC Source

To avoid maintaining separate sets of source on non-IGC and IGC machines, the additional IGC information should be coded as comments. The technique should be used for:

• Those DDS keywords which are only valid on an IGC machine
• Those IGC shifts which are only valid on IGC machines
• Those DDS keywords which are not valid with IGC fields

For example, the following DDS source would compile on a non-IGC machine, but is marked up so that simply by flagging and unflagging the comments, it would be appropriate for an IGC machine.
