 
 IFL provides the fastest, most direct, and most efficient method
 of populating an empty RMS-11 Indexed file.  CNV can do similar
 things, but in a nonoptimized fashion.
 
 Type HELP RMS IFL COMMAND for an explanation of IFL's command line.
 
*COMMAND
 
 The general form of IFL's command line is:
 
        outfile[/switch(s)]=infile[/switch(s)]
 
 where:
 
 outfile - The filespec of an existing Indexed file that is to
           receive records from the input file.  Wild card characters
           are not permitted.  The default version is the highest
           version.
 
 infile - The filespec of the input file that is the source of the
          records written to the output file.  Wild characters cannot
          appear in any field.
 
*SWITCHES
