    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------

The problem that I mentioned on the phone is a compile (in VAX/VMS V5.3-1 on 
a MicroVAX) -- the compiler reports that virtual memory limits are exceeded.

The following information is appended below:

1.      compiler command and message
2.      system memory info
3.      user info

Is there a simple way to increase the virtual memory limit?
Is it likely that some change in our code would reduce the virtual memory
requirement?

Thanks

Ian

First, let the vendor know that this is by no means a "migration to Alpha"
question.  Since we're such nice folk, however, pass along the following
information:

To increase the amount of virtual memory available to a process, increase the
wsextent authorize parameter.  They will also want to increase the pgflquota
parameter to allow the process to page that extra virtual memory.

It is necessary to log in to get these changes.



Additionally, the system has a maximum virtual address space limit (prior to
V7.0).  This is controlled by the sysgen parameter virtualpagecnt.  A reboot is
necessary for changes to this parameter to take effect.  Note that changes to
sysgen parameters should be made via autogen.
