5350.1More Memory, ManRACER::daveAhh, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality.Mon Jul 19 1993 11:158
I have been running MCC BMS on 6.0 for a few weeks now.  The only difference
I have seen is that on 6.0, you will need LOTS more memory.  The old guidelines
for memory are way too small.  I was running with PGFLQUOTA set up to 300,000
normally, and if I need to do serious dictionary work, I bump it up to 600,000
pages.  I have watched a dictionary update and rebuild in progress, and used
560,000 pages of memory, along with lots of pagefaults.  (WSextent was 150,000)

(btw, the system is a maxed out 6620 with 512 meg.)
5350.2upgrade to BMS V1.3TOOK::PURRETTAMon Jul 19 1993 20:489
    Why are you still running V1.2????  v1.3 has been out there for
    about a year now.  I don't think engineering can/will give much
    support for problems reported against an old release.  We simply
    don't have the resources.
    
    I'm running VMS v6.0 and DECmcc v1.3 ok, however I needed to force
    a restore of 3 CMA executables after the install of DECmcc to remove
    a warning message of incompatability.  There's another recent note
    in here about that so I'll let our CMA/installation expert answer it.
