In <317@uvicctr.UUCP> sbanner1@uvicctr.UUCP (S. John Banner) mentioned
the problem that the new asld doesn't want to find _sendrec.

I had this same problem when trying to re-build the library /usr/lib/libc.a.
It seems that the sources as distributed do not include the line
.define _send, _receive, _sendrec

When one examines the ar extracted, libupack'ed version of sendrec.s
from /usr/lib/libc.a there are two lines
.define _send, _receive, _sendrec
.globl _send, _receive, _sendrec

The libpack'ed, libupack'ed version of the source (with comments) does
not include the .define line, just the .globl line.

This same problem can be found in the following files:
	sendrec.s
	getutil.s
	setjmp.s
	brksize.s
	catchsig.s
	

After updating the sources I was able to rebuild the library,
and recompile and run the tests (which, by the way, took me
a while that I should be root when runing some of them (or at least
be suid root).

Also: After re-building the new ls and executing the command
	"ls -lg" (to list the groups) one will discover that there
	should be a file called /etc/group around (root touching the
	file is good enough to start with, before adding the group
	entries).

Oh, I haven't had a lot of time to bang on minix yet, but V1.1
does run correctly on a compaq (early model) with the 20Mb HardCard.
I'm starting to try the posted MSC cross development package posted
recently by ericr@ipmoea.UUCP (Eric Roskos).

Thats all for now
