Usage guide

intybasic [--jlp] [--cc3] [--title \"title\"] infile.bas outfile.asm [library_path]

--jlp        Enables use of 8K-words extra memory feature of JLP
             and also usage of hardware acceleration for
             multiplication and division.
--cc3        Enables use of 8K-words extra memory feature of
             Cuttle Cart 3.
--cc3 0xc000 Enables Cuttle Cart 3 in selected page, useful
             with Keyboard Component.
--title "a"  Selects title of the compiled program.
             By default this is "IntyBASIC program".
             Only appears in emulators/multicarts.
-w           Disable warnings globally (has priority over
             OPTION WARNINGS)

The library path is where the intybasic_prologue.asm and
intybasic_epilogue.asm files are searched for inclusion.

It will return a zero error code if compilation was successful and
non-zero otherwise.
