Wouldn't the image activator complain if there was a mismatch of the RTLs ?

If both machines are at VMS 6.2, wouldn't the RTLs  be "compatible" in
terms of linker and image activator ? A patch to an RTL wouldn't render
executables unusable.



If you compiled it on a 7.3 machine with linker options that allowed any
RTL versions, what would the complaint be when you move the executable
to a 6.2 machine and try to run it against an iolder RTL ?


you could do a $CHECKSUM on the executable on both machines to ensure
they are the same. (saves on testing file transfers at slow speeds).
