ROPE: TYPE ~ Rope.ROPE;
WriteRobot: PROC [r: ROPE, robot: RobotDefs.Robot];
ReadRobot: PROC [r: ROPE, wDir: ROPE ← NIL] RETURNS [robot: RobotDefs.Robot];
AssembleRobot: PROC [r: ROPE, log: IO.STREAM, onlyIfNew: BOOL ← TRUE, wDir: ROPE ← NIL] RETURNS [success: BOOLEAN];
! FS.Error => couldn't find a file to assemble
Will assemble robot found in file r.robot to r.robotc
~onlyIfNew => always assemble, otherwise assemble only if r.robot newer than r.robotc
log is where to put the assembly comments
