Greeting *.

First of all, thanks to Paul Allen at atc.boeing.com.  I was able to
find ar.c and lorder.c from /usr/src/commands/ibm.

Now, I have more questions.

o  Has anyone successfully install CURSES version 2.0 posted here a couple
   of days ago? (I mean "Minix 386")

o  Wierd thing about "tsort".==> In Makefile came with CURSES, it "lorder"
   first to create a "l.out" file and then "tsort < /tmp/l.out > /tmp/t.out".
   It "make" successfully; however, the contents of t.out shows only
   "attrib.o".  This caused problems when I tried to compile "demo.c" since
   the contents of libcurses.a consists of only attrib.o and, when compilation,
   There were a bunch of "undefined symbols".  I checked /tmp/l.out and
   it seemed correct.  What happened to tsort? (Or, what did I miss?)

o  To proceed, I corrected (or messed up) the above problem by "ar ruv
   libcurses.a *.o" and checked it by "ar t libcurses.a".  It seemed fine.
   But when I compiled demo.c, it responed "undefined symbol: fpushd".
   Unfortunately, I couldn't locate "fpushd" so I couldn't proceed any
   furhter. (It also responed many warning messages about redefinitions
   made by /usr/local/lib/i386/libc.a.)

Did I miss something?  Any hint or point will be appreciated.  FYI, I'm
running Bruce's Minix 386.  You can either post or e-mail me at
jlu@cs.umr.edu.  Thanx in advanced!
