It only took 7 business days to get my upgrade to PC MINIX 1.3: P-H
did a good job.
I decided to upgrade a little at a time, so the first thing I did is
install the 'help' program, and promptly ran into a few problems.
1. When adding entries to the helpfile, it doesn't like tabs in the
'# cmd...' lines. These cause the index routine to infinitely loop
while writing to a file. Not pretty.
If you compile with the 1.2 library:
2. Change the fputs() to fprintf() or the buffer doesn't get
flushed with some manual entries.
3. Define fseek() to return a long; the compiler assumes int and
sign-extention does horrible things to offsets greater than
(or equal to) 32K. (v1.3 stdio.h defines this for us)
