When we did this (the pre-release 10.3 was not so vocal about the problems), it din't break the compiler. Instead, it limited to sr10.3 the O/S that you could run the newly compiled programs on. I believe it's because some of the library calls got name changes w/ the ANSI support. > If you have installed OS 10.3 without ansi support and wish to install > the Domain/C 6.8 with ansi support you must reinstall OS 10.3 with ansi > support. > Domain OS 10.3 shipped several weeks before the compiler. > The HP/Apollo 800 support confirms this and offers no workarounds. > I have to reinstall 11 nodes, whats your damage ? If/when we install the ANSI stuff, it'll be 28 nodes. (Wanta trade? :-) What I will almost certainly do in this case is re-install one, find the differences, and hand-copy the necessary files over from the AA. This will leave the baseline files out of synch, but it often is anyway the way we reconfigure things. -- jt -- John Thompson Honeywell, SSEC Plymouth, MN 55441 thompson@pan.ssec.honeywell.com Me?
