When compiling to disks from the Encore server, I get bad links (the link finishes cleanly, but the resulting image is damaged, often in strange and interesting ways). On the other hand, when the remote server is a Sun or an A/UX machine, I've never seen this problem. The problem doesn't happen with small programs: hello world works 10 out of 10. Big programs (nn, gcc, g++, etc) always fail. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
