Several years ago, we received a tape of an HP SE-contributed utility,
"XDS", which intercepts calls to CM extra data segment intrinsics
(DMOVIN/DMOVOUT/GETDSEG etc.) and substitutes mapped file access.  We
used this routine to help migrate our primary online application, which
uses extra data segments extensively, to NM.  We've just discovered
that some user processes with PINs higher than 4095 are aborting after
a CM XDS intrinsic call, apparently due to a program-imposed limit of
4095 on the user PIN which calls the intrinsic.  We're seeing PINs in
the 4300+ range, now, and, as you can well guess, this is causing some
great concern.  HP does not support this code, and it's written in
Pascal, for which we have no compiler.
 
Does anyone know whether this code has been updated and made available?
Has anyone updated the program, and, if so, would you be willing to
supply the updated source and NMOBJ files?   The source indicates it
was written by Andrew Ledbetter from HP/San Antonio, but the phone
number given apparently no longer works or the office no longer exists
(???).
 
TIA,
