I'm answering this using Mush 6.5.6 on a Tandy 6000, so I should be
able to help.  :-)

Disclaimer: the following information assumes Tandy Xenix/68k version
3.0 or greater (I'm running version 3.2 development and runtime systems
here).

You *do* have rdchk(); that function is a "Xenix-specific" enhancement,
and as such, isn't in the /lib/libc.a archive -- it's in /lib/libx.a.
Therefore, you need to add a "-lx" to the final cc command line in the
Makefile.  I don't have my Mush sources on-line (hey, I only have 110Mb
of disk space!) so I don't have a list of all the changes I made to get
Mush to compile.  I know I had to use the "-+" cc option (uses 32 char
function/variable names instead of 7) which is only on the 3.2
compiler.  Tod, email me for details.
