I have noticed that the problem does not occur depending on which client
I am using. I will compare settings and see if I can identify the one
that is problematic on some of my clients.

Thank you. I can compile and link a C "hello" program with that.

Thank you, again. Unfortunately, the following source, which works on
other systems:

    * John 1:1
          PROGRAM VERBUF
          WRITE (*,*) 'In principio erat Verbum'
          STOP
          END

... gives the following compiler report:

    VERBUF
    ?FORTRAN-I-[VERBUF] Errors: 1, Warnings: 1

I've gone through several manuals, but can't figure out how to get the
compiler to print a listing so I can figure out what is causing the
error. Do you have any idea?

That would be fun to play with.

I've enjoyed getting reaquainted with Elvira, but have a couple of
questions that I think I once knew but have forgotten.

1. Elvira sometimes ignores the first key I press when entering a
   command. Is this a RSTS problem, or do I need to change my client
   settings?

2. I found the C compiler, cc, but forgot how to make an executable .sav
   file from the .s file cc produces. (C is the only programming
   language on Elvira other than BASIC and DCL, isn't it?)

Keep on hackin'
