[HECnet] Quick RT-11 question

Afternoon, I have a quick RT-11 question hopefully someone can help with without me needing the skim the entire linker manual. ;) Would ?LINK-F-Symbol table overflow be a result of monitor configuration constraints, memory constraints, or something else? I've linked TSX+ in SIMH fine so I have no idea why it's failing on the real 11/23. I think I had linked it under the ZM monitor in SIMH though...not XM. Since you are obviously using either V05.06 or V05.07 (only the last two versions of RT-11 have the RT11ZM Monitor), you can use the VRUN command to support giving LINK all 64 KB of memory. Naturally, you will probably need at least 256 KB of total physical memory on even a PDP-11/23 (to run RT11XM as well as to provide the needed extended memory to provide LINK with the full 64 KB to run in) although 128 KB might do in a pinch depending on which device you use for the system device. NOTE that a PDP-11/23 does not have the IOPAGE MMU registers to support RT11ZM (which you probably already know or have found out). Let me know if the VRUN command works. There are more things to try if that does not work. If you insist on using RT11FB and that does not work, then try RT11SB which may take less memory. If that is insufficient, go back to an earlier version of RT-11 and try RT11SJ. Otherwise, LINK has a few options to expand the Symbol Table size. If you don't have access to the LINK chapter, let me know and I can look it up. It sounds like you are trying to LINK TSX-Plus which does require a HUGE Symbol Table. If possible, have only the system device driver loaded if not using RT11XM (which will allow you to use VRUN which will use extended memory, so low memory will not matter). Otherwise, if you have a TSX-Plus configuration already available, switch to that to perform your LINK. Jerome Fine
