See what you get when you type before you think?

It was the "db" debugger, NOT "csd" that doesn't know
how to deal with TOS 1.4.  I just got off the phone with
Mark Williams' Co., and they say they're aware of the problem
and are working on an update.  They also said that while csd
runs, some weirdness might occur - no details on what kind of
weirdness.

BTW: I haven't used MWC for a while, and encountered this problem while
trying to compile the source code in the mandlbx1.arc file from the unindexed
directory at erminator (35.1.33.8).  It appears to be missing at least one .h
file, and has a few (so far) minor bugs.  For example, numerous variables are
defined and never referenced, and I've encountered at least one misspelling
of a variable.  Is this the state of most source code archives?  Has anyone
already fixed this code?  Would anyone be interested in a repost if I manage
to get it working?  (It's (yet another) Mandelbrot set plotting program).
