While my Amiga is in the shop with a fried serial port, I got my C128 back
out and started wiping out my old to-do list.  First on the agenda was getting
the C-Power-compatible assembler out of the archive & getting it working.
(From experience w/CBM-authorized repair centers, I know I have a while to
wait.)

Urk... in openfile.c, there is a reference to a "device(dvc)" call which
shows up nowhere else.  The linker wanted to know where it is, and I have
no earthly idea.  The fopen() routine recognizes the C-Power shell's device
numbers (0: to 3:), so what is device() for?  Anyone remember, before I go
in hacking openfile()?

Thanks in advance, of course.  And in order to poke a little fun at myself
and my Amiga, I leave you with a quote plagarized from a Hyundai commercial:

	"So where IS that hot new computer of yours?"
	"Uh, well....  It's in the shop."
