Compiler Dependencies The TAL compiler is a disk-resident program on each Tandem system. In general, a
particular version of the compiler runs on the corresponding or later version of the
operating system. For example, the D20 version of the compiler requires at least the
D20 version of the operating system.
If you need to develop and maintain C-series TAL applications on a D-series system,
the following files must be restored from the C-series system:
C-Series File
to Restore Description
TAL TAL compiler
TALERROR TAL error messages
TALLIB TAL run-time library
TALDECS TAL external declarations
FIXERRS TACL macro for correcting TAL source files
BINSERV Binder server for compilers
SYMSERV Symbol-table server for compilers
The C-series compiler expects a C-series BINSERV and SYMSERV in the same
subvolume (although you can use the PARAM command to specify a BINSERV and
SYMSERV in a different subvolume). C-series tool files (such as BIND and
CROSSREF) can also be restored.
To compile a C-series compilation unit on a D-series system, you must use the fully
qualified name of the C-series compiler; for example:
$myvol.mysubvol.TAL / IN mysrc / myobj
