[net.micro.pc] COHERENT UNIX PROBLEM

ERLBAUM@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA (01/13/84)

From:  Mark Erlbaum <ERLBAUM@SUMEX-AIM.ARPA>

We purchased Coherent Unix for the expressed purpose of running a medium size
system written in C which resided on a VAX.   The executable VAX file took up
roughly 58K  --  it's medium sized because the data files use 5 MBytes. After
porting the source code to the XT,  I attempted compilation and linking of the
10 modules in the system.

The cc command successfully generated 10 object code files (xxx.o), but
linking failed with a cryptic message:

ld: address wraparound

Does anyone know how to resolve this?   Does it have something to do with the
large vs small memory models for the 8088?   A telephone consultation would be
greatly appreciated.   Thanks in advance.
