I started unpacking the 1.5.5 distribution that came over the net. There
is a file IBM_00.uue, and an ibm_00.uue. IBM_00.uue contains files associated
with the ~src/lib/ibm directory, but ibm_00.uue contains files that were
associated with ~src/commands. Why -- is there a change in official directory
structure we need to know about.
AND ANOTHER THING -- I have somehow lost track of the assembly source files
for ~src/lib/ibm/*.s. (PROBABLY WHEN THE 1.5.3 Makefile ERASED THEM!) Could
the kind Professor Tannenbaum please post these sources, or are they
Prentice Hall Property?

Also, some things from commands moved to commands/ibm. I've resigned myself to looking at the crc list carefully to find such moves (this isn't the first time things have shuffled around!). >in "1.5.5 Introduction and crcs" <5914@star.cs.vu.nl> Andy Tanenbaum writes: > These are the crcs of the collected files.

I am starting to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.5.5 and have a simple question.
Can I:
a. upgrade (patch) all files to 1.5.0 to 1.5.3 to 1.5.5 and then compile
the library with the 1.3 compiler and library?
or
b. upgrade to 1.5.0 and compile a 1.5.0 library with the 1.5.0
includes so that I then compile the 1.5.3 library with the
1.5.0 libc.a and 1.5.3 includes, etc...
thanks in advance,
mike
ps. Anyone in Madison Wisconsin into MINIX? Let's start an informal user
group!
