Yes, I picked that up from the documentation which was sent.  However, the
problem I had was with "interupt" (notice only one r) also apparently having
something sacred with it.  I had earlier gone through and caught all of the
interrupts (with two r's).  Anyway, no problem - I changed it to intrpt and
that solved.

Yes, I had another (non net-posted) message saying the same thing, so
have that one gunned out.

Only remaining problem is that the boot disk (which builds great, and all
programs compile/assemble great) will not complete booting.  It dies
a quiet death before the menu arrives, but a good deal of loading has
gone on.  I suspect that it comes about from compiling Minix 1.4a, but
using Deborah's 1.3 version of mpx88 and klib88, or something along that
general line.  When I get it gunned out, I'll post so that anyone else
wanting to do it with 1.4a (sounds like a T-shirt slogan!) won't have
to reinvent the wheel.
