For compatibility with UN*X makefiles, it sure would be nice to have "cc" (optionally) produce a packed assembler file with '.o' suffix and "libpack" produce a '.o' from a '.s' and asld accept '.o' as a suffix representing packed assembler. (alias "libpack" to "as" and "asld" to "ld" and you have *real* [PDP-11] compatibility!!!) It shouldn't be necessary to break any existing Minix style makefiles, just have asld accept both '.s' and '.o' as legal input file suffixes. Andy? How about it? Can you give us a binary patch to asld that will do that? I can handle the fixes to "cc" and "libpack", but I don't seem to have the sources for 'asld' lying around. Anybody else have the sources to asld? Enjoy!
