Billy D'Augustine in a message of 9-Jan-91 inquires about the compatibility
of RSX task images and the P/OS operating system.
 
RSX-11M-Plus supports two variants of task headers; resident and nonresident.
Without going into unnecessary detail on the differences between the forms,
only nonresident header task images will run under P/OS.  M-Plus permits
overriding the header form with the INStall switch
 
/XHR=(yes, no)
 
but P/OS does not support this.  Therefore, any task image brought into a
P/OS system from an M-Plus system must have been built with the TKB /XH
switch to force external headers.
 
The usual symptom of this problem is that P/OS complains with an error message
of the form:
 
INS -- Task has a resident header 
 
Glenn Everhart very correctly also points out that Kermit does not create a
contiguous file, and that PIP /NV/CD/CO must be used to create a new,
contiguous task image from the received file.
