In applying the version 1.2 upgrades here are some inconsistences
I have encountered:
The file fs/main.c seems to have been missed in the conversion
to ANSI tty codes thus line 165 should also be modifed to:
165c165
printf("%c[H%c[J",033, 033); /* go to top of screen and clear screen */
read news article 1715@botter.cs.vu.nl diff reletive to 1.2
for H/com.h deletes line 20 which is:
# define SYS_KILL 11 /* fcn code for sys_kill(proc, sig) */
but then for diff to kernel/system.c puts in line 99 as:
case SYS_KILL: r = do_kill(&m); break;
To correct this I assumed line 20 of H/com.h was not to be deleted.
news article 1717@botter.cs.vu.nl diff to commands/mined.h
adds the line:
#define BRACKET -2
but the file commands/mined2.c allready has BRACKET defined
thus I assumed that the define statement cannot be in common
but applyes only to commands/mined1.c. That is where I put
it.
After recompiling mined, it then error off with
insufficient room for file message
This was corrected by changing lib/msc/prologue.h
C_COMMON segment from upper case to lower to match what
Microsoft C uses.
Yes I am using Microsoft C version 5.0 to do my MINIX
development. As such the diff to fs/main.c completely
undid Eric Roskos patches which made Microsoft C work
with MINIX. HELP! Eric are you keeping your work
current. I tried to send you E-mail but after bouncing
around the net all night long, I got it returned as
unknown host IPMOEA error message
