I managed to get 2.11 installed on SIMH, and hacked the de driver to work (pretty much the same thing I did for 4.2 BSD on the 11/780) and now I&#39;ve gotten it networking.  <div><br></div><div>I&#39;ll admit I&#39;m not all that swift on the pdp-11, but I get the impression that the maximum exe size is 128kb with 64kb of instructions, and 64kb of data?  Isn&#39;t there something that can be done with overlays or some other linker thing to act like an 8086/80286 with the large memory model (ie multiple segments...?)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve been trying to build ircII-4.4 and I can&#39;t figure out how to link something that big... I&#39;ve tried the -Z and -O flags to ld to no avail.  </div><div><br></div><div>Clearly I&#39;m doing either something wrong, or impossible or stupid.</div>
<div><br></div><div>FWIW, here is the size of the same program on the VAX</div><div><br></div><div><div>myname# ls -l irc-4.4</div><div>-rwxr-xr-x  1 root       413696 Jun  8 08:46 irc-4.4*</div><div>myname# size irc-4.4</div>

<div>Any pointers would be appreciated!</div><div><br></div><div>Jason</div>
