Ok, thanks for that.

No, it looks ok to me too. There are bound to be some small things missing
though... We'll see.

What's your policy on releases? If/when I get the thing compiled and working,
should I just make a single tar with source and binaries?

Oh, for sure. The point stands though - however the source is arranged,
it still holds as good documentation on all that wacky hardware that's
available for the PC.

Yeah, I have patch, but there was some problem actually trying to get
it to go in. I forget the exact problem now, but I think it was to do
with RCS. That is, you want RCS to check the files out before trying
to patch them... Is there some rcs command that will take a patchfile
and apply it?
