Using release 2.2.1 of Xenix and the "@(#) 1.1 87/05/18" version of
ranlib, what are the limits to a library that can be succesfully
ranlib'd? If my library gets too large (either too many files OR
too big in file size) ranlib trashes it ("ar vt" shows garbage).
Help!?

Thanks to Sean Fagan <sco!seanf> for the answer: 2000 symbols It would be nice if ranlib took an error exit instead of silently trashing my library, or nicer yet if it took the BSD strategy of realloc'ing the table as necessary, but I'll settle for at least knowing the limits and splitting my library up. /r$ -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.
