We are rrunning IBM Xenix 2 on the 286. We have a problem in using the size command to estimate how much memory a process is going to need. Occasionally, it will say that the text segment is 0 sized. I have not been able to find anything unusual about the executables that happens with. If anyone out there has seen this or knows why please let me know. Thanks Doug Toppin uunet!melpar!toppin

Occasionally, it will say >that the text segment is 0 sized. Xenix executables for the 8086, '186 and '286 small model can be linked with "impure" text; i.e. the text and data are stored in one modifiable segment. In such an executable, both text and data are counted as data, so there is no "text" to report. Link the executable with "-i" to generate separate text and data. -- You may redistribute this article only to those who may freely do likewise.
