- The run time library is spread across a bunch of assembly
- source code files. This is to keep them all in separate program
- hunks, which as far as I know cannot be done just through assembler
- tricks. If there is a way, I'd sure love to hear about it.
- In any case, the system is fairly simple. You use the
- script files 'makesystem' or 'makewriters', etc., to create small
- sub-libraries, if you will, of related routines. These are then
- joined together with 'makepcqlib', which creates the library.
- If you need to change one routine, just assemble it. Then
- create the sub-library that the module belongs to. Then re-create
- the entire library. Of course, in order for this to work you'll
- need to have object code versions of all the library files in this
- directory. Just assemble them all.
- It is only recently that I came across an object module
- librarian (who would think to look on the very early disks?). I
- haven't tried it out yet, but it should make this process a bit
- easier.
