Since VMSRTL is a library, it will be searched only if the module has not been found already by the linker. Thus if you include your version of LIB as an object (.OBJ) file, the linker will not attempt to find it in the RTL. You could replace the RTL version (I think) after first de-installing the RTL, but this seems like a pretty bad idea. I was not aware that any of the system services or RMS routines did anything to the user's virtual space. The RTL routines are a different story, and so they may. Fortran does do a great deal of such playing, because it's i/o interfaces need to do things like allocate data structures for rms. So the problem may be because of using fortran, and if you're careful (like by ddoinoing all your i/o from macro, or not dynamically opening files (?)), you may not have any problems. The surest way to tell how something will interfere is to dig thru the fiche, although this can be time consuming. I too would like to hear from somebody at DEC. - jr -----
