Taking out tabs to make the file go through BITNET, I added a mistake to the
ASM language section
This is the way it actually reads:

regs1:     ds.l    14
regs2:     ds.l    14    * says 15 above
regs3:     ds.l    15    * says 14 above

So, besides these typos which were not in the original version, what else
am I doing wrong.  BTW more experimentation shows that multiple command lines
like
ar68 rv uemail.arc ueasm.o!link68 [abs,tex[20000]]uemail=uemail . . .
are where the thing breaks.  I also discovered that a bios call to WARM START
leaves trap vectors intact.  Only a trap #2 function 0 resets the traps DRI
promised to leave alone.  The trap re-init bug is in the BDOS itself.  On
function 0 it resets all vectors from 2-11, Trap 0 and 1 (guaranteed not to
be reset, according section 4.6 of the programmer's guide) and traps 4-15.
All other interrupts are left alone.

I am beginning to believe that cp/m-68k has more potential than I at first
realized, especially for small systems where fancy mice and windows are
distracting and useless.  Anyone up to writing a *Soul of CP/M-68K*?
