DG machines have a number of architectural peculiarities (word-addressed, stack grows upwards, etc), but the biggest problem is that the DG/UX ld is just a port of the AOS/VS linker, breaking the multiple-ld invocation mechanism by which static constructors are implemented. Please send me email if you have made a working C++ under DG/UX or AOS/VS, or know someone who has. Thanks. -- Jon Leech (leech@cs.unc.edu) __@/ "The idea of ``picking up where Apollo left off'' in lunar exploration is a chimera. There is nothing to pick up; when we dropped it, it broke."
