I got it compiled and it seems to work (Symantec/Think C v7). However,
there's a bug (which seems to be present in the existing 1.1g) that I'd
like to fix if I could... if you select a SCSI drive that doesn't have
any A/UX partitions, it pops up a dialog box telling you that, then when
you dismiss it, it crashes. It looks like it's the exit(1) call in
interface.c:Do_ScsiPart() that's crashing... anyone know why?
Also, I notice in the old port-mac68k list archives, Stephen Brown had
this same question (which wasn't answered in the archives): what are the
ANSI32 and unix32 libraries? I replaced them with ANSI and unix, and
that crashed pretty early on. So I tried ANSI++ and unix++, which seem
to work fine...
