- * Alloc_Misc.a
- *
- * Assembly language fragment that grabs the two parts of the serial
- * resource (using misc.resource). If it gets the resource, it will
- * wait for CTRL-C to be pressed before releasing.
- *
- * While we are waiting, the query_serial program should be run. It will try
- * to open the serial device and if unsuccessful, will return the name of the
- * owner. It will be us, Serial Port Hog!
- *
- * When a task has successfully obtained the serial resource, it "owns"
- * the hardware registers that control the serial port. No other tasks
- * are allowed to interfere.
- *
- * Assemble with Adapt
- * HX68 Allocate_Misc.a to Allocate_Misc.o
- *
- * Link
- * Blink FROM Allocate_Misc.o TO Allocate_Misc LIB LIB:amiga.lib
