would have been taken care of long ago. No need for pre-processing code,

for laughs I wandered over to:

To see if the copy of V6 on RL02 is still there.... yep it is. and it
runs on a 11/23 just fine
as thanks to someone I have a copy on RL02 that I boot from time to time.
Seems the problem is solved. If memory serves it cannot use more than
256K even if the
machine is Q22.

Thanks. At this point, with a bad EIS board, there's not much I can do,
but I can use this in simH, and read up and get educated.
