Definitely. Maybe a syntax error in SYS:SYSJOB.INI? That unnamed job in "^C" state is NO good at all. I do not remember exactly what to do (you may want to check on alt.sys.pdp10), but I think you should ATTACH to that job and try to give a CCONTINUE to it (its not a typo: CContinue), then ATTACH back. Can't be. Same SYSJOB.INI works with the included TWONKY monitor.OPR.EXE runs and all processes start. (I can't start OPR.EXE at all no matter what I do) Look at http://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/tops10v704_docc/index.html for some other information, particularly in CMND.MEM (for CCONTINUE) and OPGD.MEM. Off topic (?) for everyone: You may want to try to contact /BAH alias Barb on alt.sys.pdp10 and ask her (it's a lady!) for some suggestions. She is also on alt.folklore.computers. She worked at DEC on TOPS-10 in the Seventies and Eighties and helped me a lot. She was the "significant other" of Jim Flemming who once wrote almost all of the (SMP) code in the TOPS-10 monitor. Every monitor programmer had its three letter acronym: hers was /BAH, his was /JMF. She still signs herself as /BAH :) Look for /JMF and /TW (Tony Wachs) in TOPS-10 sources. They were her friends. She once even went to some public library to read some old sources and give me some answer; I owe her almost any TOPS-10 knowledge. Another one very worth a read on alt.sys.pdp10 is Rich Alderson (is he reading here too?) from the Living Computer Museum. I might do that. thank you. This is worth a careful reading. My TOPS-10 setup is a tribute to BAH & JMF: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.sys.pdp10/msg/7592579d5fdab7ae HTH, G. P.S. She's a bit grumpy too :PPP
