Access to IOPAGE Registers using PDP-11 Opearting Systems

When I run under Ersatz-11, John Wilson allows INSTALL EMEM.DLL (this was under V3.1 of E11 and hopefully soon with EMEM32.DLL under V5.1 of E11) to access many MegaBytes of PC memory via an IOPAGE register. For example: BaseReg = 177100 BaseRe2 = BaseReg+2 BaseRe4 = BaseReg+4 BaseRe6 = BaseReg+6 Mov @#BaseReg,R0 ;Get the current value from PC memory Mov R0,@#BaseReg ;Put the current value into PC memory BaseRe4 / BaseRe6 are used as a 32 bit address into the PC memory allocated during the INSTALL process. Under RT-11, direct access to the IOPAGE (address above 160000) is allowed even using VBGEXE by a reference to PREVIOUS DATA space. I have written FORTRAN IV/77 interface subroutines to allow a user to easily access that memory rather than use VIRTUAL arrays which are much slower and have much less capacity. I doubt that RSX-11 or RSTS/E allow a user access to the IOPAGE even via PREVIOUS DATA space. Can anyone confirm this assumption? Is there any fast method (only a few extra instructions) that would allow a user to reference a specific IOPAGE register from a user program? Are VIRTUAL arrays allowed in FORTRAN under RSX-11? If so, how is access to the MMU registers controlled and allowed? Johnny has helped with such RSX-11 questions in the past and the answers were appreciated very much!
