[comp.sys.dec] DECstation 3100: Anyone have a tcsh that works?

lavallee@ginosko.samsung.com (Warren Lavallee) (05/31/89)

	We recently received a few DECstation 3100's.  When I compiled tcsh
all went fine, but when I run it, I run out of swap space.  The executable
is rather large:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 lavallee bin        369696 May 23 09:13 tcsh*

	Has anyone gotten a tcsh that will actually work on the 3100's?
We have 8 Megs of memory, and about 20 Megs of swap space for each
workstation...

					Thanks...

Yes, we have the tcsh running here at CRL.  If you strip the binary,
you lose the debugging information, but the size goes does to about
240K from 360K.  However, 20 megabytes is almost certainly not enough swap
space anyway, especially if you are using DECwindows applications, since
they use lots of memory.  We have our DS3100's configured with 64 megabytes
of swap space, and I find the amount I use varies from 20 to 45 megabytes.
