Thanks Ethan. I got my 11/750 just a few weeks ago, and I still have to go out to get OpenVMS and a few layered products. The system runs already OpenVMS, and also has some Fokker (former Dutch airplane designer/builder) software installed, but I had to promise that I would wipe the three RA81 disks that came with the /750. So, after I have done that, I will first need to install OpenVMS. I am a newbie in VAX-11/750 land, so this will be a slow-progress "project" :-) I have Advent for RT-11, and I wondered if it needed the PDP-11 emulation mode, but it is clear that a native Advent is possible. thanks, - Henk. ________________________________ Van: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org namens Ethan Dicks Verzonden: za 22-04-2006 14:03 Aan: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Onderwerp: FORTRAN Adventure (was Re: RL02 problem) On 4/22/06, Gooijen, Henk <henk.gooijen at oce.com> wrote: (subject line edited for topic drift) Back in the day (1985), I ran a native FORTRAN version of Adventure compiled on our 11/750 running VMS 3.4 (3.6?). I think we ran the same binary under 4.x and 5.x, but I can't recall if we re-linked the .OBJ files or not. It's rather trivial to take the RSX/RSTS Adventure sources and get them working under VAX FORTRAN - a 32-bit environment and wads of virtual space removes many of the restrictions imposed by a 16-bit virtual space on an -11 OS. On a PDP-11, I think all ADVENT implementations use overlays - not required on a VAX. -ethan This message and attachment(s) are intended solely for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or otherwise exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
