I used chmem and gave it as much stack as I could-- no help. No message is printed and I have not attempted to debug so all I can say is to stick with the v(1.2) fix. The file was ls.c.diff by the by-- is would toss about the last 30 lines. 2) ar no longer matches file names of the full 14 characters... so if you "ar r arc.a doprintf.c.dif" you get a cute problem-- "ar t arc.a" yields doprintf.c.diff as a member but things like "ar x arc.a doprintf.c.dif" claim that doprintf.c.dif is not in the archive. looks like a fence post error in the match routine, but I have not yet checked. Again ar v(1.2) does not have this problem. \n -- "I am the Lorvax.
