OK, Everybody, heres my current gripe list: Environment: AT-CLONE 286, Standard HD Controller w/CMI(!) 31MB HD 1.5.0, as received from vm1.nodak.edu and troweled onto a stock 1.3. 1. Hitting 'del' causes the login shell to log out 2. 1.5.0 ls dumps core if you try to do an ls -l. I had trouble linking ls, because ls.s and ctime.s both had a label '_20' in them which the linker thought was multiply defined. My quick hack solution was libupack < ls.s > ls.x sed 's/_20/__20/' ls.x | libpack > ls.s cc -i ls.s -o bin/ls But then that dweezil dumps core when you do an ls -l. This is supposed to be getting easier, not weirder! 3. make ignores signals 4. When I did a 'sh run' in src/commands, (with the 1.3 shell) no compiles ever took place. The shell locked up tight. I had to change run to work on [a-f]*.c [g-p]*.c [q-z]*.c and then it worked. I think (1) may be fixed by a patch posted the other day. No idea what the gig is with (2). (3) I seem to have some recollection of. AND AGAIN - what scheissverfickende major and minor numbers is /dev/port supposed to have? -- Kent Williams "What's an Address Bus?
