This flag is intended to provide more helpful output for beginners. It has two effects:

(a)

provides an extra message to the effect that a function that is used but not defined anywhere might be an array which the user forgot to declare in a DIMENSION statement (since the syntax of an array reference is the same as that of a function reference).

(b)

modifies the form of the error messages and warnings. If the flag is turned off by -nonovice, these messages are printed in a style more resembling UNIX lint.

Default = yes.
