<br>
After 9+ years of negotiations, Wild Hare has secured an agreement with
Data General to recover, archive and release Data General 16-bit and
some 32-bit software for educational and non-commercial purposes. A
official announcement will be made next month, but I wanted to let list
members know that sometimes good things can happen.<br>
<br>
A special thanks is extended to the amazing William Donzelli, and to
the quick-footed Carl Friend, who made the physical tape rescue in
Massachusetts possible. Thanks also to the legal and technical folk at
EMC (Data General) who finally made this a legal reality - and who
might prefer annonymity at this point.<br>
<br>
Details will be posted in a few weeks, but I wanted to share this bit of Merry Christmas for DG fans.<br>

But I keep hitting a roadblock. I cannot get any binaries to run, either as a program under RDOS or as a standalone program that would be booted by the RDOS "program?" prompt. My guess is that there are some conventions that I am missing regarding how an assembly program must be structured, and/or some particular parameters that are required by the Assembler and Relocatable Binary Loader.<br>
<br>I would greatly appreciate it If anyone can supply a step-by-step plan for writing a compatible Assembly program along with the correct ASM and RLDR parameters to create (a) a runnable SAVE program (<a href="http://examp.sv" target="_blank">examp.sv</a>) and (b) and standalone bootable program.<br>
