I do wish I could profile all loaded images at the same time though rather
than having to select one at a time. Statically linking in an image that
is normally activated dynamically (so that I can profile it) is a minor
problem (for me). It certainly would be nice if PCA had better hooks in
the image activator. etc. Fortunately, I don't use threads on VMS.
Recompiling everything (million lines of code) would definately be a real
pain. PCA doesn't seem to have received much attention since the days
when I made very heavy use of it back in the late '80s. I make only light
use of it these days. Next fun VMS event comming for me this fall: Itanium
porting.
