It should understand .o, and should have its own linker. So you can compile the stuff using gcc on another box, and take it over to the devel env and link (in theory). That is assuming that DEC didn't use a proprietary assembler. Any idea what the DEC compiler is called? Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
