I am in the process of upgrading from 1.5.5 to 1.5.10 using the diffs from nodak. I managed to build the library and minix.img without any problem but I am having trouble with some commands. I would appreciate any feedback concerning the following: 1. How do you tell elle to use the arrow keys? I got only the binaries (I think that's what Franz posted). 2. nm (compiled with the new libraries) seems not to find the symbol tables, and the same happens with ps (with Franz patch for the ST). 3. I compiled elvis without errors but as soon as it starts it gets signal 11 and dumps core. 4. When I recompiled tos using the new library it didn't work anymore! More concretely, it dumped core when executing the command tos -dl /dev/hd1 minix where minix is a tos subdirectory in the tos partition hd1. The old tos (compiled under 1.5.3) works fine. 5. The makefile for kernel.mix says: /usr/lib/cv -R kernel.out kernel.mix or something to that effect. cv (recompiled, of course) complains about a bad size (I guess it should be -R # ...). Thanks in advance! Francisco Figueirido figuei@max.physics.sunysb.edu

1. ELLE: There was a profile file (.ellepro something) sent which elle
looks for in $HOME.(I think it was in the ast stuff).
2. Symbols: did you compile the files without the -s option?
If that doesn't help use the other ld that was posted a
while ago; it works fine (in /usr/src/compiler/ld).
3. ELVIS,TOS: Did you try to chmem the files to a higher stacksize?
That should help (could help).
