Here are a couple of additional tips for the 1.3 -> 1.5.0 upgrade. - The two commands ls.c and more.c can't be patched with the posted .cdif files. I just found out that AST posted the full .c files some time ago. You'll find them in the archives as the following two postings: 5068@ast.cs.vu.nl - ls.c 5069@ast.cs.vu.nl - more.c - The lib/ibm assembler routines are the same as the 1.3 ones, with the exception of head.s (which was posted separately in the 1.5.0 upgrade). However, AST reposted them in 5031@ast.cs.vu.nl, along with some additional comments. Take a look at them. You still have to get all the compiler specific assembly routines (and.s, xor.s, etc.) from the 1.3 libc.a archive file, though. - It was pointed out that 1.5.0's test #20 could destroy your file system. Don't run it!!! - Make frequent back-up's as you progress along the upgrade;e.g., the new library files, the new commands, etc. Remember that the 1.5.3 diff's are against 1.5.0's, so you may want to be safe in case of an "accident"... Good luck! Marcelo - mcm@cs.ucsb.edu
