You usually used this switch for a reason: the *&^&%$#@!! program was too big to fit in memory with combined I & D. Try re-compiling and re-linking without this switch (on the 11). If the program will fit with combined I & D space, you may be able to use it on a vax. If not, you definitely can't. If you don't have at least the .o files, bag it. Good luck, -Steve
