This is in response to Jon Nall's problems with compiling
Minix C code with Turbo C 2.0 compiler.

1) Interrupt is a keyword in Turbo C, so some other name
   must be used.
2) In reference to the undefined symbols _init_rs232,
    _rs_out_char and _set_uart.  These routines are called
   from other source files.  They should NOT be declared 
   PRIVATE. The minix C compiler does not distinquish between
   PUBLIC and PRIVATE.  All routines are considered global.
   The PUBLIC and PRIVATE in the minix C code is for documentation
   only. I mentioned this quite a while ago and most of the
   places which had PRIVATE types made it in the updates ( but
   I guess not all of them, or they came back in the 1.4a update).
