Asri-unix.379 net.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!menlo70!sri-unix!CSVAX.william@Berkeley Wed Dec 30 23:28:12 1981 UNIX 3.0 and f77 and user overlays Origionally Ted Kowalski put user space overlays into 3.0 at Bell which are very simular to the UCB ones. He told me that f77 worked fine with them on an 11/40. But this was a long time ago, and I don't know wheither it made it into the "public" release. It was in the BTL USG 3.0 manual however (look at the ld(1) page). The major diff between UCB and 3.0 overlays was that Ted bothered to independately swap the overlay segments, while UCB overlays are always in core. The tradeoff was speed vs. complexity, and I decided I wanted the speed (since the complexity did'nt by me anything on the 3.2MB 11/70 I was using at the time).
