I found that the 1.3C upgrades for the KERNEL will not link. See the following Linker error messages: Microsoft (R) Overlay Linker Version 3.61 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1983-1987.

This is what you are going to publish with Prentice-Hall. I remember reading a flame from you condemning other people for sending you such code.

I remember reading a flame from >you condemning other people for sending you such code. Not true! I have compiled the code many times on MINIX and it works fine. I have never claimed it worked with MICROSOFT C. I think a lot of the trouble has to do with the fact that I removed port_out and port_in to lib/IBM_PC, but when I shipped everything from my AT to the SUN for posting, I forgot that directory. I have eliminated all the other IBM_PC directories as being useless. I will post portio.s shortly. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

And every programmer must be able to fixed "unresolved external" errors in their sleep. It seems that the static allocation bug is biting again. The kernel compiles with Minix cc only because PRIVATE's aren't? This bug is less forgivable than distribution glitches. Bruce Evans Internet: brucee@runx.ips.oz.au UUCP: uunet!runx.ips.oz.au!brucee
