Aucbvax.5688 fa.info-vax utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!info-vax Mon Jan 4 14:20:55 1982 modifying LIB >From decvax!duke!bcw@Berkeley Mon Jan 4 14:17:40 1982

It's quite easy to substitute your copy of LIB for the system's copy (for your program only), but you wouldn't be able to link to VMSRTL. There may be problems at a lower level (i.e., the data area may get expanded under some circumstances by the kernel for example) which would affect any allocation scheme, but I'm not aware of any offhand (this isn't saying much as I'm not that familiar with the VAX/VMS kernel). Modifying it in VMSRTL is probably a no-no although that would be the only way to get your copy and still link to VMSRTL. Maybe one of the DEC people would have something to say about this ...
