RISC iX Upgrades ---------------- 16th December 1993 This archive contains new versions of the RISC iX programs as and xterm. It also has an updated man page for as. To install the upgrade, login as root and type: # zcat as+xterm.tar.Z | (cd /; tar xvpf -) The new assembler contains support for .stab directives, which then provides debugging capabilities in GCC. It is also *much* quicker (potential 10-fold or greater improvement) when assembling files over NFS. The new version of xterm closes a recently well-publicised security hole which allows the creation of a root-owned file anywhere on the system. -- Kevin Welton Email: kwelton@acorn.co.uk Acorn Computers Ltd Phone: (+44) 223 254339 Cambridge, UK Fax: (+44) 223 254270
