The 1.5.3 patches work on ast's ls and more postings with -l - I must have
messed up the originals somehow.  1.5.3 once again patches very smoothly;
the only significant problem is the library order.
 
Is the reason for lorder/tsort's continued failure to order a library a basic
mathematical snag, or is it due to the current implementation?  Libraries are
needed quite early on in program development, yet these programs are still
being patched.  I had them working under 1.3, but not now - and understanding
them is way beyond me.  Anyhow, they return a library order at which various
programs barf, and ast's 1.5.0 library order posting doesn't contain some of
the new library routines.  All but six programs compile using the old order,
so until some more skillful person comes up with a library order, I'll have
to leave those six alone.  All the rest of /usr/bin compiles ok; compress
gives
its usual pointer warning.
 
Fs and mm are no problem; only the makefiles need changing to produce the
symbol tables needed by the new ps.
 
The new init can't find login, if its not in /bin.  (Mine's in the alternate,
/usr/bin).
 
Mined1.cdif is empty; which may or may not be as intended.
 
 
Good luck - Will
