Matthias, Caldera _thought_ Novell had given them the latest source tree until I pointed out to Roger that what they had was totally unpatched code. To say the least he was very pissed. I don't know yet if Novell has supplied Caldera with the new sources. This is just one of many things that Novell has pulled on Caldera during this process. > Also I would like to do some size optimizations, and if I find enough You might want to see if you can get it to build with NASM in Intel mode.
