[comp.os.minix] Make sure your library files are packed: cmi4.s & return.s

I also found my libc.a contained unpacked cmi4.s and return.s.  They
are supposed to be packed or else object code that uses them will be
corrupted ??  Everyone should check these and if they are unpacked use
the libpack command to pack them.  My files came from PH v.1.2.  Are
they still unpacked in v.1.3?

An "object only crc list" was recently posted with wrong crc's for
these two functions.  For all other files, the crc's in this list were 
for packed files.  But for these two files the crc's were for unpacked
files.  The crc's should be (for packed): cmi4.s 23886 112 and for
return.s 50847 80.  If you have the "file" command it will show these
files as Enlish text if they are unpacked.  Otherwise, inspect them with
"more" or an editor.
