There are a number of sources in the commands directory missing. AST in message 771@ast.cs.vu.nl (v1.3a posting #10) mentioned a number of new files introduced in v1.3a, supplied a few of them in that article, and said he thought the others were already posted. No, they weren't. Some were available from the original postings, but AST's copy is different (different length). Others were never posted. All files mentioned in 771, and not included in that message, need to be officially posted. They are: chgrp.c compress.c diskcheck.c ed.c file.c lorder.c sed.c strings.c tsort.c tty.c whoami.c . Updaters should notice that date.c , fix.c , pr.c , shar.c , and floppy.c have been posted in their entireity during the same period of time that their diffs are being posted also. Don't try to make any changes twice. Message 824@ast.cs.vu.nl is somewhat confusing in that the diffs for the fs directory got mixed in with those for the kernel directory. I hope that no files with the same name in the two directories collided.

So I end up putting all the .s files into a temporary > library, and pointing lorder at it. I'm currently in the process of upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3 via the diffs posted to bugs.nosc.mil. I have a kind of provisional ordering of libc.a, (haven't got to 1.3b yet), but I would really like to get lorder and tsort to work. I've downloaded and applied the diffs to lorder and tsort, but when I try the commands: "lorder LIB >tmp", tmp is empty. However if I do a smaller subset of LIB, say, put all the [a-e]*.s files into a temporary library it seems to work ok. My other problem concerns the patch program, which I finally managed to compile (again under the first version of the 1.3 library), but which doesn't seem to be working right either. After running patch, the supposedly patched file is still the same as file.c.orig. Granted there is probably some relatively straightforward solution to all this, I've wasted enough time on, so I thought I would ask the net. Any hints, advice, solutions, would be much appreciated.
