Thanks to everyone who responded about getting RCS to compile under
Xenix. The answer is that Xenix 'diff' and 'diff3' don't have
what it takes to do a context diff. I am in the process of
getting GNU Diff to compile and will try with that program.
Now, I don't have the 386 SDS but have 386 Xenix and am trying to
get a public domain library for GCC. I asked yesterday about
the system calls for Xenix. I posted a SHAR file that has exactly
what I wanted. I lost this SHAR file due to a disk crash. It was
a GAS assembler file from someone in Finland or Sweden and it contained
all the know service numbers for Xenix. Several people have already
responded to my request of yesterday and one of them even had a
PART of my previous posting that contained this SHAR file. Did
anyone save that posting that I made back in (probably) April?
For instance, the 'write' Xenix system call has a certain number
that is loaded into the EAX register and then the Xenix system
call is made to take care of the 'write' instruction (after
the appropriate parameters are pushed onto the stack).
This is the level of stuff I'm looking for.
Thanks!
