Having received my copy of Manx 3.6 compiler, and having browsed
superficially through the contents of the disks, I was wondering where one
might get a copy of the "lint" program alluded to in the readme.lint file in
the lint directory on the SYS2 disk. It doesn't seem to be anywhere on any
of the compiler disks, nor is there any information about where to get it,
either on the disk or in the release document. Is this referring to a PD lint 
(I hope!).

This information was on the 3.4 release as well, and this was when my
curiosity was aroused. But I figured I'd wait until 3.6 came out to see if
there was anything else on it. But no such luck.

While I'm on the line here, I'll ask one more question. Has anyone had any
luck using SDB in debugging device drivers, as described on pages 15-16 and
30 of the preliminary manual? If so, I'd like to hear from you. All I get
when I attempt to use the 'ld' command is an error message something like
"Can't open foo.device!". My best guess about the problem at this point
stems from the fact that my driver is written in assembly language, not C,
but I did assemble it with 'as' and link it with the -g switch of 'ln'.
I put the driver in the current and devs: directories as well as the libs:
directory as indicated by the manual. The .dbg file is in the current
directory. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Phil
