There's only two bugs that I know of...the result of typos in the DEFINITION
modules.

In Amiga.DEF  CONST ErrorCommentTooBit = 220D;
should read:  CONST ErrorCommentTooBig = 220D;

and in TimerDevice.DEF TYPE timevalPtr = POINTER TO timevalPtr;
should read:  TYPE timevalPtr = POINTER TO timeval;

If davidm@sugar.hackercorp.com (David Martin) means he's looking for a 1.3
release of the libraries, he should look on xanth.cs.odu.edu (128.82.8.1) in
/incoming/amiga/modula2_benchmark (I think that's right).  There's a bunch of
useful lharced archives there.
