2662.0. "PAS$RTL install resident on AXP VMS" by COMICS::EDWARDSN (Dulce et decorum est pro PDP program) Wed Mar 12 1997 10:07

A customer has asked a question which I am bound to pass on to you
concerning the PAS$RTL on AXP.
He wants to be able to INSTALL/RESIDENT to attempt to improve performance.
Is he asking the impossible?
Is he asking for something which is silly?
Would anyone be willing to produce one which could be installed /resident
if he asked nicely (and paid cash)?

VMS Version is 6.2 which he is using at present, I suppose he would be 
in the market for upgrades in the future.

	It isn't impossible, but to be able to INSTALL/RESIDENT the Pascal RTL, I would need to link it differently during the OpenVMS build process. Right now, only certain RTLs are linked so they can be installed /RESIDENT. In what way do they think this will improve performance? Page faulting in the RTL? Time spent resolving the linkage section addresses? -John
