A plea for help: Lately I have been trying to get a system(3)-like routine going to be called from C-programs written with the Computer Innovations' compiler, and I have run up against some problems. I have been modifying a piece of code that appeared in this newsgroup a few months ago that does this from Lattice C programs (submitted by Darrell Plank), but the "cvtobj" program with CI-C86 doesn't convert the .OBJ file to a .o, saying "unknown record type A2 len 002C offset 000148". Does anyone know what this message means? The C86 documentation has nary a clue, and I can't figure out a reasonable meaning from browsing the the OBJ file. If you do know what it means, do you know what I have to do to the assembly code? Also, if you use the CI-C86 compiler and have a routine that calls the 2.0 system call EXEC correctly, could you share the source? I have puzzled over EXEC and SETBLOCK, and can't get a combination that works. An exasperated PC-user, Jay Weber ..!seismo!rochester!jay jay@rochester.arpa
