[Coco] Really not understanding how to use DW

[Bill Pierce]

Tomod, I didn't see the CCbKrn error in this morning's make. Boisy (or someone) may have fixed it.

The PacOS9 errors are for the most part due to the fact the makefile has never been updated to lwtools and mercurial. Matter of fact, they almost look like standard MW OS9 C makefiles. The source files themselves are in RMA so I don't know what changes would have to be made. I guess that's why no one has touched them. Not many people use RMA as it's a little touchy in syntax.
Between that, the error Gene mentioned in the BBS dir and the others I mentioned are the only ones now.

Even Gene complimented the smooth build :-)

Ah, this is almost touching, Bill :p

Seriously, it is your participation that pays off!

They are not all gone. BTW, those of you looking at these errors will
love the latest change I did in ToolShed just now:
os9copy,os9attr: Print out human-readable error messages

* os9 padrom 4096 kernel
* padrom: file size insufficient for pad size

I guess the DAlpha kernel has grown beyond 4096 bytes.

It complains about a missing "main90.r" file. Is that something that
should be generated from main90.a? I guess rma and rlink were used for
this in the old days but they have been deprecated. Please somebody
port it to LWTOOLS.

(I think) was an attempt at a new kernel but abandoned as the old kernel is 
built but the CCbKrn copy cmd wasn't removed from the makefile in the dsk 
routines.

Can somebody confirm this? I would be happy to remove the ccbkrn stuff
if it is meant to be gone.
