Various 3B1 Problems (& A 3B2 Problem)...

I'm combining problems, in order to save the net a bit of bandwidth. 8)

The systems are a 3B1 (2Mb RAM, 40Mb HD, System 3.51m w/dev kit) & a 3B2/300
with all the standard perks.

Problem #1 - This involves mainly the 3B2. Although the pty stuff from the
OSU archives gives instructions for installation on SVR3, the instructions
are for an NCR tower, & the 3B2 uses an apparently completely different
scheme for dealing with devices, etc. Has anyone installed the pty stuff on
a 3B2, & can mail me details on how to do it?

Problem #2 - I had a program I compiled 2 months ago, & had no problems. Now,
when I came back to it today, it refuses to compile, giving me an error about
"too many auto variables (>32K)". The assembler then dies, whining about how
various addresses are out of range (or something like that). Can anyone tell
me what could have caused this unchanged program to suddenly make the compiler
barf?
					Thanks, <Mowgli>
