If you are a MegaMax C user and have received the version 2.1 update, I am interested in hearing about how you have arranged the various applications on disks (assume a two-drive system). I, for one, have been unable to come up with a satisfactory arrangement (some of the new programs are larger in this release, and many of the "neat" features depend on program A being on the same volume as program B.) Interesting replies will be posted. Tom Wood C-MU Robotics Institute taw@cmu-ri-fas ...!{seismo,ucbvax}!cmu-ri-fas!taw -- uucp: ...!seismo!cmucspt!cmucsfs!taw arpa: taw@cmu-ri-fas.ARPA

Try this: System (boot) disk: Batch editor <anything else that seems nice> Other disk: mmcc mmlink syslib all the .h files a ram disk starter One can then have the ram disk starter put the compiler, linker, and libraries on the ramdisk, freeing up the second drive for source files. Problems include the fact that a program under development frequently crashes the system, and re-building the ramdisk is not exciting. The ramdisk should be big enough to keep the linker happy. You'll notice that links are MUCH faster. Mike McNally SMU mike@smu ...convex!smu!mike
