Hello Netland,

I'd like to start by thanking Rich Skrenta <skrenta@blekko.home.nwu.edu>
for the following to my inquiry regarding the heap space error:

I managed to get Pcomm2 to compile but am now having a problem during
the linking phase.  I get the following when I try to link:

cc -Ml -LARGE -s -SEG256   admin.o chg_dir.o curses.o d_delete.o  
d_lib.o d_manual.o d_menu.o d_print.o d_prompt.o d_revise.o  data_log.o

/bin/ld: Unresolved externals:


_nap in file(s): 
 /lib/Llibcurses.a(getch.c)
*** Error code 1

Stop.


My question is what is _nap?  I could not find it in any of the 
Pcomm source files.  I also did a strings * | grep nap in /usr/lib hoping 
that I was linking in the wrong library but the only thing I got was
an argentinapeso.

I hope someone out there can explain this.

Thanks in advance.
