So I'm working on compiling some programs on my Pro/380. 2.0 OS,
Fortran77 compiler, Empire is the sample game. I got it to compile
properly but when I try to link it the linker/tkb/pab fails with a bunch
of undeclared references.
Some of them are in the F77FCS.OLB library files on my pdp11/83 (M+ 4.6)
like $CLOS, ISF$, $OSF, and $OPEN, but others like $EOLST, IOAB$, IOAI$,
TT$EFN, and others are missing as well.
Did DEC really jerk people around so badly by selling the FCS or RMS
libraries as a separate installed product? I see some reference to
RMSLIB.OLB but it's not on this system.
Weird.
