I have an extremely vague memory I might have seen it eons upon eons ago but I might be imaginging it. > Seems to be in the clock code. Is there something I might have Hmmm, '?' is "ed"s error indication. I wonder if the '?' is coming out of ed and not SIMH? > missed in the CONFIG file that could cause this?? All I basicly Not at this stage of the build - a config file error wouldn't allow the first few compiles to succeed and then start causing errors on kern_clock.c One thing I did notice though was the use of 'ed' - that tells me the patchlevel of the system is very low (i.e. old). 'ed' was replaced with 'sed' which sped things up a _lot_ - and that took place back around #325 in 1996. Have you tried P11 instead of SIMH? When I'm too lazy to fire up the 11/73 I use P11 to do the testing/patching and so on. It's a bit a pain to configure (really arcane configfile syntax) but it works very well - never had a problem with it. Good Luck. Steven Schultz
