The ACUCOBOL-GT compiler accepts source files in text file format and in Qedit format. To support the compilation of a Qedit file, the compiler makes a temporary text file from the original file. The temporary file is removed after compilation. If the compiler is also invoked with the -v (verbose) option, a message similar to the following appears for each Qedit file:
filename is a Qedit file Processing Qedit source file:/tmp/SRCxxxxxx from:filename
