- These two Merlin hacks were proposedly meant to be examples for pro-
- gramming in GNU-C and testing my inliner's for the Merlin libs. Both
- of it belong to the last adventures on our planet, I can tell you !
- So I had a (too) long fight against the various traps and bugs of the
- compiler/Merlin-Descriptions, respectively.
-
- One crazy example so you may get the point:
- MerlinFli compiled happily with the baserel option while MerlinFract
- simply did not, although it is shorter and contains exactly the same
- code on start, which was suddenly complained at by the compiler. So
- MerlinFli is baserel, MerlinFract absolute (that is, pc-relative due
- to the new options). And that's just one of the more harmless bugs !
-
- By the way, baserel was never gone or wrong with the past-2.3.3 versions,
- one can happily compile with this option in all versions. You just have
- to use the 2.3.3-Assembler to do so. These actual assemblers simply pro-
- duce a wrong object-file format that can not be linked correctly.
- Try it !
-
- One more remark about AllocDosObject mentioned in the heading comment
- of MerlinFli. Although I own the 3.1-NDUK, I couldn't find a ADO_XYZ-
- name-tag that seems to be absolutly neccessary. So I could not implement
- this feature. Am I too silly to see the right way, or is this Tag really
- missing ?? I would be very pleased if someone could answer this problem
- in any way.
-

- are very welcome. For I am not reachable by email, here is my s-mail
