1829.0. "User System Services on AXP " by GALVIA::FOX_F () Mon Feb 24 1997 05:35

    
    
    Would anyone have any examples of User Written System Services 
    written in MACRO that have been ported to run on the ALPHA. 
    
    I have to port some of these and I would like to have an example 
    to work with in Macro showing how to set up the PLV and the link  
    commands. 
    
    Thanks a lot, 
    John.

	Does ported from Macro on Vax to DEC C on AXP count ?

	Do you have access to OpenVMS Alpha listings? If so, you could look at [loadss.lis]secshrlnk.com and rdbdisp.lis. Not a short and simple example, and most of the modules linked are in BLISS, but rdbdisp.lis, the module that sets up the PLV, is in macro. hope this helps, ruth

	: I have to port some of these and I would like to have an example : to work with in Macro showing how to set up the PLV and the link : commands. Be aware that many UWSS system services may be (are?) no longer needed, as OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha have added a number of new features since many of the UWSS routines were written. (And rather than a blind port of the Macro32, I'd confirm the services are still needed, and I'd definitely seriously look at a port to C.)

	re .0 and if you decide that the UWSS is still necessary, regardless of what language you use, you might want to review its security. I've seen some pretty scary UWSSs.
1829.6	Mixed Languages Work Fine...	XDELTA::HOFFMAN	Steve, OpenVMS Engineering	`Tue Feb 25 1997 13:39`	5
	A variant on .4, use the C PLV support from SYS$EXAMPLES:, and LINK in the existing Macro32 compiled code... (While you're porting the Macro32 code to C. :-)
