Yes.  this is true.  Here is the shell script I run from tools:

>2. The 1.2 'cc' program is broken.  
No, I just posted the V1.2 cc by accident.  It goes with the new compiler.
It doesn't work with the 1.1 compiler.  Throw it away.  When I get my act
together, I will describe the 1.2 compiler and how to get it.  Not yet.
First I want to get 1.2 out the door.

>3. Do you have to zero Udata yourself?  
What's Udata?  Never heard of it.  MINIX neither.
