Re: Index Anding

You probably want to take these questions to the -general list, or
-admin, in future. That said. . .

You don't need to do anything special.

Yes. See

I know we've managed to get it to work using gcc, but I haven't had
to do it in a while (ask on -general or -admin, I suggest). More
important is to make sure you tell the compiler to use all the
memory. For reasons that are completely beyond my ken, AIX imposes a
memory limitation on every program at compile time. There are some
hints about this in the FAQ_AIX.
