The first line in the file memsup.a in directory Examples on disk 2 of the Lattice 4.0x compiler is csect text,0,,1,2 Would someone explain the fields in this sucker? I understand 'csect text' to be a version of a section directive suitable for insuring that the subsequent code will be placed with C-code during linking (if the -s option is used). Or so it says in Lattice's manual. Perhaps the 0 is some code for the type (choose between CODE, DATA, BBS, etc), presumably CODE in this case. The rest of the arguments are unmentioned. I have called Lattice support and asked about section directives and the person on the phone just said to read the Macro Assembler in Bantam's AmigaDos Manual. I thought I had. Guess the old mind is starting to go. Some PD assemblers I have documentation for take an argument after the section type indicating the type of memory the hunk should be loaded into (CHIP, FAST, or maybe PUBLIC), but even assuming this is true here, which does the ,, stand for (my guess is PUBLIC, but then I'm already guessing what the field is)? And the above line has two additional undocumented arguments. Could someone please help me out? -- - It is better for civilization to be going down the drain than to be - - coming up it. -- Henry Allen - Charles Cleveland Georgia Tech School of Physics Atlanta, GA 30332-0430 UUCP: ...!gatech!gtss!chas INTERNET: chas@ss.physics.gatech.edu
