Have run into a few difficulties, though don't suspect major. Thought I'd reiterate some of them just for focus. Please excuse the "miscellaneous" range of the message. 1) Latest posting of tty.c to Portal feed lost second part of the posting (got 1 of 2 OK). Would be happy to wait for the re-post, or would appreciate getting 2 of 2 in the mail. 2) I have weird problems (few) with the libc.a library I rebuilt. Some programs can't find fdopen(), though I can ar xv libc.a fdopen.s. Why ?? Also, have a program that keeps coming up with unresolved reference to fgetc(), though there's NO calls to it in my program. Nor, using grep, can I find any in any of the lib sources. I've played with the def's in stdio.h to no avail. 3) I find the following VERY unnerving: Things like: #include "abc.h" #includeIn other words, multiple header files of the same name in different places, with (apparently) different contents. Especially like in /usr/src/fs, mm, etc. I know, I should go back to the original posting of the 1.3 header files (Oh yeah - all the preceding is for upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3) and make sure I got everything right - but I thought I did. 4) It hasn't been clear on occasion which component pieces need to be applied TOGETHER. For example, I got (thank you Andy) the tty.c which supports the ANSI sequences, but when I rebuilt my kernel with it, ED wouldn't work, so I thought there was something wrong with it (of course there was - I needed the 1.3 ED). etc. Actually, the order Andy has been posting the 1.3 pieces is admirable, headers, then library source, then commands, then kernel stuff, etc. - that's the right order. Don't get me wrong - I'm thrilled with how well its gone. Just thought I'd pass on some of the pitfalls I've run into. -- sun!portal!cup.portal.com!chuck_m_grandgent -- AEG Modicon, Industrial Automation Systems Group --//-----------------------------------------------//--
