Not true!  I have compiled the code many times on MINIX and it works
fine.  I have never claimed it worked with MICROSOFT C.  I think a lot of
the trouble has to do with the fact that I removed port_out and port_in
to lib/IBM_PC, but when I shipped everything from my AT to the SUN for
posting, I forgot that directory.  I have eliminated all the other IBM_PC
directories as being useless.  I will post portio.s shortly.
