Now I know :-) Keywords: The problems were mine Message-ID: <21@rc6.urc.tue.nl> Date: 8 Sep 90 19:50:58 GMT Sender: News Administration Reply-To: baron@wiesje.hobby.nl Lines: 33 Hello *, I now have Elvis 1.3 up and running. Let me joins the ranks and thank Steve for his great job. There were two glitches (mine :-() 1. I have Earl Chew's Stdio package and that generates slightly larger .s files, so asld needs a few kBytes more, which it hasn't. I replaced the original stdio.h and libc.a and it compiled ok. Now someone might wonder why the other binary (leaving out the _SENTENCE code by defining NO_SENTENCE) blocked the system. I don't know. Let she/he tell me (and tell Earl and Steve too). 2. I have a Hercules screen and the properly compiled binary has some trouble with deleting lines. It is the same trouble which has been discussed a couple of months ago, the core of which is the dl-entry in termcap using some offending screen memory shifting procedures. I deleted the dl-entry and everything works ok now. I need to lay me hands (keys) on Gordon's virtual consoles. I would like to thank Lars, Marcelo, Will, Earl and Kenneth for making it clear the problems were mine only. Maybe Earl wants to comment on the first item? It could be some error in de SENTENCE code, and it could be in Estdio, who will tell.
