TYPE CHECKER, Type checking tool

This DCL tool applies type checking rules to MACRO-32 code. For example, theembedded data type in MACRO-32 field names can be checked against the MACRO-32 opcode's expectations for each argument. This tool can isolate bugs without any debugging and can be used on both VAX and Alpha MACRO-32 listing files. It isespecially useful for MACRO-32 code which has been ported to Alpha, where byte and word fields may have expanded to longwords. The tool helps assure all MACRO-32 opcodes use these changed fields in a longword fashion.
