I am considering, as a project, a rewrite of the PC-Minix assembler and linker. The current program, asld, is a combination of the two unix programs as, and ld. This scheme requires that library references must be assembled at link time, along with the entire program. When working with even a moderatly large program, changing one file can result in another ten minute link (on my machine at least). What I need is any information that is available about the PC-Minix assembler. I am sure that it contains some quirks. The language that is assembles is not completely defined. I can tell some things by the code the compiler generates, and by existing assembly programs, but more extensive information would be useful. I appreciate any help that I receive, and would like to be able to produce a package that could replace asld. David L. Brown dbrown@ucsd.edu

It contains an as, and and ld. >What I need is any information that is available about the PC-Minix assembler. Read as.doc in the minix 1.5.0 postings. It is in posting 1.

The present version works only for Minix ST, but porting should be easy. My ld will be part of Frans Meulebroeks' semi-official Minix ST 1.5.0 update. -- Felix Croes (croes@fwi.uva.nl)
