Just got through compiling all the commands for 1.2 (I think I finally
got the library right) and tried to compile the new shell and ran into 
just the problem I was afraid of, I need the new version of asld. The 
shell needs the -i switch for separate I and D sections and the one I 
have (version 1.1's) can't do that. How was the compiler upgrade handled
originally? I have messages from archives that say that AST was sending
out the new asld uuencoded but I don't have the uuencoded file that is
the new asld. Also were the other passes of the C compiler (cg,cem,opt,cpp)
distributed too? The last mention of the compiler is that it is available
from the university it came from but it cost more that Minix itself. That
seems a little excessive to me. The compiler parts the are at vm1.nodak.edu
seem to be the same version as what I have but they are different sizes from
the ones I have. Anybody have any idea what they are? If someone could send me
the uuencoded parts that go with 1.2 I would really appreciate it.
