File Explanation:
There will be 13 different extension names for save after finishing edition and compiler;
actual files will vary according to the differences on the edition files. It is recommended to
copy all the same file names with different extension name if you want to copy the
completed program (including all program comments and settings) to other disk or directory.
Besides, you only need to copy the file with extension name .EPC for execution file copy.
For general programs that request a thorough backup file, it is necessary to copy the
above-mentioned 13 files to make it complete. And to get a basic backup file, it is required
to save those files with ELC as their extension names (* .EPC); what the user has to do is

*.LAD and *.SFC) would be generated after compiling. If the user wants to backup file
before successful compiler, it needs to save those files with the extension name LAD
(*.LAD). By the same way, if the user wants to backup file before successful compiler, it
needs to save those files with the extension name SFC (*.SFC). If you want to see the
