Ok, ok... thinking this was going to solve my problems I summarily tried the
-LARGE flag only to find that "...: /lib/p1L cannot execute".

It was there -- "file /lib/p1L" returned a "separate executable, Large model".

The file had permissions "rwx--x--x" and I was trying to run it as a person
other than root or the owner.  Upon further investigation I found that my
execution request was denied because /lib/p1L was thought to be a shell script!
In fact, NOTHING compiled in the Large Model runs on this box -- it tries to
execute them as shell scripts (and MAN, do you get some wierd errors! :-)

I'm now in this mostly for the academic challenge (I've since gotten access to
a VAX 11/780 that only one other person uses -- nyuck, nyuck) ... I'm very
interested in the concept of porting what I've wrote to all variety of
hardware.

So, if anybody has seen this before, please let me know... 

Danke!
