Does anybody have S running on a 3B2/400, System V Release 3.0,
with fpcc (C+FP) and fort (f77+FP)?
I started the port with a working 4.3 and SUN version,
but got bogged down somewhere along the line.
N.B.: In the process of trying to port the code,
I discovered that the 3B2 passes character arrays
with a pointer to the descriptor:
struct descrip {
char *addr;
int length;
};
This is not the way it is done in most UNIX'es!
I also hit many bugs in the 3B2 sdb--has anybody else experienced this
kind of thing? Granted, S is a large program (it takes about 5 minutes
to load!). But still, this kind of thing is discouraging.
