Hello everyone.

Well, I tried to only post locally but did not manage.
I just did 1.3->1.5.9 upgrade and managed to boot the new system. Looks
great. I could not find a doco on how exactly /dev/port should be defined
(I use an AT). I think I did it wrong which causes readclock to respond
'-q' allways.

ls had a minor error (_21 multiple ets, normal asld problem) so I removed
the label. For this I libunpacked ls.s then libpacked back. Libpack said the
program is too large. so I split ls.x (the unpacked one), packed the parts
and 'cat' to get new ls.s. It looked too short but asld ate it. Now ls
core dumps 'memory fault' when I use '-l'.

The questions here are: is there a problem with doing unpack/pack in parts?
I thought the packing was a one to one string replacement. Also, is there a
solution to the asld problem like this one?

First impression of 1.5 is that it is much faster, also protected mode gave
me some extra memory that was lost otherwise.
