This is probably wishful thinking, but does anyone out there know of any public domain dynamic loaders (lets you load a .o file and its associated procedures at runtime) for DECstations (or have any source code :-))?? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Kemnitz | "I ran out of the room - I Postgres Chief Programmer | didn't want to be killed by a pile kemnitz@postgres.berkeley.edu | of ULTRIX manuals" :-) | | --A friend at DEC Palo Alto in the Quake

It should work for DECstations, but several people have told me that there is a problem with the MIPS 1.31 ld's handling of the -T option. The jist of it seemed to be that it wasn't possible under the current compiler release. I think that they have the newer release (I don't know if it is MIPS 2.0 or 2.1) in field test. If you want to see the code, let me know. g.
