If the above suggestion doesn't get you anywhere, perhaps avrlibc could be hacked into a PDP-11 library. All of the hardware support will have to be ripped out of course, but there are nice tight implementations of generic library functions in there. I took a look at that. It seems to be largely assembly code, which makes it not very helpful. I've lifted more than a few routines from it, and they've all been C. Guess I just got lucky. Sorry for the false start. No problem. Meanwhile, I'm digging through the rt11 sig tapes from trailing-edge, which seem to have various bits of decus c in them. It's hard to sort out what's what but I ran across a directory full of libc type things in c. So that looks promising. I also found RSTS libc pieces, which is nice for another day... paul
