Fortunately not Robert.  As with alot of difficulties I have, it was
simply a mistake on my behalf.  I dunno what it is about me... I must
have so much in my head that I mis-perceive bits of information (Like
when you put a spoon down on the table and 3 seconds later can't find
it, even though it's sitting in front of you?).  As it was, because of
me not seeing properly (hehehe), I thought the .o files came before the
lib name.

And the weird thing is, I read the 'ar' Cmdline over and over again and
still thought the .o files came first.

Still, after Eli corrected me on this, I used rcs to archive the files
made from RHIDE and the lib has been created.


Sorry for any spooky-trouble I've caused (yet again)....
