Those of you that have linked programs to the shareable libraries will have to re-link them. This happens with each new release of VMS and is an inconvience. For programs that are used by everybody (such as AS68K), it is worthwhile to link them shareable. For programs that are only run once in a while and/or by only one person, it isn't necessary to link them shareable and you can avoid having to re-link each time a new VMS or compiler is installed by NOT linking them shareable. In case you're confused, then the following in an options file are: VAXCRTL.EXE/SHARE !means to link to shareable library VAXCRTL !means to link to non-shareable library using C as an example. ds
