I don't see how it could be processor-dependent. It must be an
install issue, something broke at some point. We've run FORTRAN code on
this machine before.

Not much value added in this, but just in case it was
a 70 -vs- 83 oddity:
it works on my 11/70 with Johnny's f77 RPM install just as you entered it.
So maybe OS or ForTran install issues?
```
*ex
DU0:[RITORTO]HW.FOR;2 3 lines
$ fortran hw
$ l hw,lb:[1,1]f77fcs/lib
$ run hw
Hello World!

Hey folks, before I start digging into this, I figured I'd ask
here.
A simple "hello world" program in F77 on RSX-11M-PLUS fails to start
thusly:
$ run hello
TT3 -- Exiting due to ERROR 2
Task initialization failure
I was trying to move a larger FORTRAN program to this system (the
11/70 at LSSM) and it was dying with this message, so I wrote a quickie
test case to narrow it down. It's just a write to unit 5:
WRITE(5,10)
10 FORMAT(' Hello World!')
END
...compiled with "FORTRAN HELLO", and linked with:
L HELLO,LB:[1,1]F77FCS/LIB
No warnings or errors. It runs fine on my 11/83 at home with a
very
similar config. Before I dig in, can anyone quickly point me to what
I'm missing?
Thanks,
-Dave
