The mods that were required up to this point all have to do with the new archive format that system 5 employs. Unfortunately, there are problems. This new make does not seem to be able to recognize its own built in rules, or even suffix rules explicitly gien to it. The makefile: xyz: xyz.o cc xyz.o -o xyz gives back the error: Don't know how to make xyz.o. If I place the correct suffix rule right in the makefile, it still doesn't know how. Does this stroke a familiar cord to anyone? Has anyone else done this port? I would appreciate hearing from them. Lyle McElhaney ...denelcor!lmc
