I have a set of patches to make Elm 1.7 Beta compile under Xenix.  If
enough people show interest, I'll post them.  (Oh boy, there goes my
mailbox again!)

In the meantime, you can compile all modules with "cc -LARGE -Ml2t63".
The `t63' means "any data item larger than 63 bytes gets its own segment."
This makes a lot of segments, but it leaves enough room in DGROUP for your
16K stack.  (That's "-F 4000" when linking.)
