Thanks. From what I gather of the original enquiry, and reading this reference in one of the QLAY manuals:
"A tricky part is setting the correct datasizes for an executable QDOS program. Some executable files have the datasize storedin an XTcc field in the file itself. QLAY can use those." >From looking at this, it seems that the task dataspace is stored somewhere in program files which have an "XTcc" field. I have QLay2 set up on my system, although I don't use it much. It looks like the QLAYT tools program (which is a DOS program) is able to somehow find the dataspace size and use the stored figure (wherever it gets it from, because it can't recover it from normal job headers placed in the Native File Access DOS hard disk area of a QLay WIN file) to add it to QLAY.DIR, which is where the QLay WIN device stores file headers to "protect" them from being lost by DOS/Windows. -- Dilwyn Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Cave" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2007 10:27 PM Subject: [ql-users] XTcc > In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Some long time ago, Jonathan Hudson set up the C68 compiler, > assembler > etc to work on PCs (as in IBM-XT etc.).
