I compiled C-Kermit ver. 4E on a Tektronix model 8061 (DEC LSI 11/73). The OS is called TNIX (tek's version of V7). When I tried to run the executable, it said: kermit: to big The machine has 512K of RAM and 4700 blocks of swap. The executable is only 114K. The largest executables I could find on the machine where less than 64K. Is there a limit to the executable size on 11/73's? I'm also trying to get Micro-Emacs to compile, and I get "too many defines" error from the c-compiler. Any one have any ideas there?

The LSI-11 has a 16-bit program counter. There is an MMU built in, but if the OS is written like most for the LSI-11, each task can only have 64K instruction and 64K data sections if separate I and D space is implemented, 64K total otherwise. Anything larger than that must be overlayed. I've spent 8 years hacking RT-11/SJ/FB/XM, RSX-11M/M-Plus and TSX on LSI-11s. I do _NOT_ like the beasts. I'm more fond of VAXen. I'm moderately fond of 386/Unix, and I _ADORE_ Amigas. > I'm also trying to get Micro-Emacs to compile, and I get > "too many defines" > error from the c-compiler. Any one have any ideas there? Sounds like a table limit on the compiler. Check your docs and see if there's a way to increase the table sizes. I've never heard of that operating system before, but if it's a V7 running on an LSI-11, you'll have many of the same limitations that the original Unix had on PDP-11s. After all, the LSI-11 is a microprocessor version of a PDP-11. > Thanks, > Jay A.
