I just finished the upgrade from 1.1 to 1.5.0 on my 1040ST (not
without problems, but the posted patches helped a lot). With the
patches to the directories stuff in the library more works fine, 
but ls did still have problems with empty directories. I fixed this
in a rather trivial way: there is a function add_dir that reads the
directory entries and add them to a table. In the original posting 
it returns void, but I changed it to return the number of actual
entries added and then check (I forgot which routine calls it, but
it is rather easy to find out since it is called from only one 
place) its return value. If it is zero, skip the sorting of the
entries. I don't know whether this introduces any other problems ...

 I still have some problems with the following commands:
(1) kermit compiles fine but gets a signal 10 and dumps core (it
    used to get signal 4 but after I changed the time stuff in
    ckutio.c to use asctime as V7 the signal number changed).
(2) has anyone managed to use rz,sz? I will welcome any comments.
(3) nroff gets signal 11 and dumps core.
(4) de ... problems too numerous to mention!
(5) cron seems to conflict with update, at least if I run update 
    BEFORE cron!

 Any help will be greaty appreciated!
