HP Link Editor/XL on MPE/iX corresponds to Segmenter on an MPE V/E operating system, with a few differences. The primary differences are:

  • A source file must be recompiled to change any part of a relocatable object module.

  • You can create a relocatable library (RL) that contains one large relocatable object module; or you can create RLs that contain several relocatable object modules, which can be independently added, copied, or purged.

  • An executable library (XL) is similar to a segmented library (SL), except that it does not require segmenting as it grows.

  • You can create an XL that contains one large executable object module; or you can create XLs that contain several executable object modules, which can be independently added, copied, or purged.

For a detailed description of the differences between HP Link Editor/XL on MPE/iX and Segmenter on MPE V/E, refer to Link Editor/XL Reference Manual (32650-90030).
