I noticed a nasty little difference (Bug!) between the Rx compilers (RC, RP and RF) and normal UNIX compilers (CC, F77, PASC). When you use the -o [load output file] switch, the compiler does not check to see if the file already exists, and is not executable. As such, if you, by mistake mind you, type: rc -o test.c The rc compiler will happily erase test.c, then complain that no input file was specified. THIS IS AN INSIDIOUS BUG, esp. in an operating system without UNDELETE. DEC dcass@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM
