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) Mike S. att!cbnewsl!mjs
