Yes, you can use the kconfig utility.

In oder to look at the current values you can type the command
kconfig -avn /unix

To change the value of NPROC (which is set to 50 by default) type

kconfig -n /unix  (this will give you a new line with no prompt)
NPROC=num_proc    (substitute num_proc by the number you want, 100 should do)
cntl-D            (this will end the input mode and give you a prompt back)

more information on this is in the A/UX System Administrator's Reference 
manual under kconfig(1m) page 4.

The cc compiler allows you to create shared text area if you compile a 
program with the -n option

Again, more information can be found in the A/UX command Reference (A-L)
manual under cc(1) page 4

Hope this helps
