problems writing a handler

I am trying to learn how to write a handler.  Currently I am trying to
compile the NULL: handler that was posted to comp.sources.amiga a few
months (years?) ago.  Since this program was originally compiled with
Manx and I am using Lattice 5.02, I had to change some of the #include
statements.  When I try to send output to my: (my version of null:) I
meet the Guru instantly.


These are the commands that I am using to compile the code:

lc -cu -b0 -v  -M myhandle misc

blink with myhandle.lnk

copy myhandle l:my-handler

===================== begin myhandle.lnk ================

FROM "myhandle.o"+"misc.o"
TO "myhandle"
LIB LIB:lcnb.lib LIB:amiga.lib
BATCH

===================== end myhandle.lnk ==================


Here is the mountlist entry that I am using:


my:
    Handler = L:my-handler
    Stacksize = 500
    Priority = 5
    GlobVec = 1
#


The entry point of the handler is called _main.


Am I using the correct compiler options, libraries, etc?  Does anyone
have any advise on handlers or how to debug them?

Thanks in advance.
