Turns out the 200 character limitation in printf/sprintf strings causes real
problems with large command lines.  I'll be posting a new, expanded version
in a few days.

As of this morning (about 3AM :-), this was up and running on my amiga.
I can use it to remake itself, so the basic functionality is there.
However, the are still a couple of bugs that are corrupting memory.

Great little machine, but it REALLY needs some form of memory protection.
Bugs that I would find in an hour on a protected machine are taking ten
times as long as this machine.  Luckily, my macro based C debugging system
is working very well in this sort of environment.  Just redefine the
macros to examine critical data structures at each function entry and
exit point, and the offending code is quickly isolated to a particular
function.  Maybe its time I posted this package also...
