We run 4.2 on a -750. We also have Macsyma. Our > Macsyma is running under the compatibility mode. (I don't know > if there is a 4.2 version of macsyma yet or not. We don't have it > if there is). By "compatibility mode" do you mean the 4.2BSD facility that permits it to execute 4.1BSD system calls (but from native VAX code), or the ability to run PDP-11 programs in the VAX-11 compatibility mode? The reference to "a 4.2 version of MACSYMA" and the fact that you're running MACSYMA at all leads me to think you mean the former (if somebody's stuffed a LISP big enough to run MACSYMA, much less MACSYMA itself, onto a PDP-11 I'd like to shake their hand). The people asking about TECO are asking about the latter, as PDP-11 TECO is written in MACRO-11. Guy Harris {seismo,ihnp4,allegra}!rlgvax!guy
