I wasn't too impressed with the malloc() supplied in the v1.2 of libc.a,
so I wrote my own.  While upgrading to v1.3 (using the P-H disks), I wanted
to check the new version to see if it is any better, but I don't see the
sources for libc anyplace.

I've looked at the assembly-code, and can tell that the routine has
changed, but I can't tell if its been "improved" or not.

Are the sources for libc.a available?  If so, I'd appreciate it if someone
would contact me so that I can get them.  I can't even successfully get an
index from the uucp servers, much less request a file.

Another thing I noticed is that the file sizes of the compiler passes are not
the same as v1.2 either.  The difference varies from 2 bytes to 2K.  Are they
really the same as v1.2 as AST has said many times?

Thanks,
Mike S.
