Walton) Organization: California State University, Northridge Lines: 18 Those building mg2a with Manx probably want to delete the -w switch on the ln command. This generates a db/WACK compatible symbol table, and increases the executable size by 10K. If you want to be able to debug, use -n on cc and -g on ln to get an SDB debug file without increasing the executable size at all. The ARP V1.1 TackOn() command has a bug which prevents dired-mode from working completely correctly. mg2a uses so little of ARP right now that the USE_ARP option slightly increases the size of the code due to the unused bindings. FYI, the bug is that the call: TackOn(path, file) where path contains "device_name:" and file contains "" (a zero-length string) results in the path being truncated to zero length. This bug has been reported to ARP support on BIX. Stephen Walton, representing myself swalton@solar.stanford.edu Cal State, Northridge rckg01m@calstate.BITNET
