Important Note:

This online manual is provided verbatim; it is identical to the original TSC/Gimix FLEX manual I have in my possession, barring typos and the occasional deviation in upper & lower case usage.

For this reason, not everything here applies to the flex emulator I have written; hopefully, the differences will be obvious. I intend for this online document to be useful to users of "real" FLEX systems as well as users of the emulator.
