   I just started to get enough time to start playing with MINIX
again, and the first thing I did was start getting the 1.2 updtates
installed.  I started installing the stuff that was posted a while
back (before the "Difinitive V1.2 updates"), and everything went
fine, when I recommpiled all the commands stuff (well, almost
everything, but that is irrelevent).  Next, I went on to the
Libraries, and fs, and that went fine too.  Then, I looked through
all my back messaege from this group (for the amounts to use in the
chmem on the new commands), then added a few mods to cc, and
recompiled it, and *bang*.  Unresolved referances.  Specifically,
_sendrec, and another one, which I have been able to fix, but no
matter what I have tried, asld doesn't want to find _sendrec.  I
have tried everything I can think of except go back to full 1.1,
and packing the assembler file before putting it in the archive (I
did go back to the full 1.1 lib, and try that, and with the updates
in the "difinitive updates" posting).  I am at wit's end.  I have
tried almost everything I can think of, so I ask for help (I hope I
am overlooking something obvious).  The one thing I knoticed when
playing with the libraries was that in at least sendrec.s, catchsig.s,
and csv.s (no .c files for these), the functions that they were
supposed to define were declared in '.globl's, and not '.define's,
as they should be (at least according to the description of asld in
the book).  However fixing that had no effect on my problem (but
either way, which is really right???).

    Thanks for any help, if there is call for it, I will sumarize
to the net.

PS. Once I get things going under 1.2, I plan on trying to get
Kermit going so we can all transfer files directly from our mail
sites, to MINIX rather than going through DOS, and similar type
stuff.  If anyone is currently working on such stuff please let me
know any problems, etc.  Thanks.       sjb.
