I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

I'm now getting to the 386 syscalls.  The following comment in the
mkfile needs addressing.  Suggestions?

# _SEEK is broken, but we currently don't use it.
# GCC uses eax,edx to return a vlong
#
#                       if(~ $i _SEEK) {
#                               echo 'CMPL AX,$-1
#                               JNE 4(PC)
#                               MOVL a+0(FP),CX
#                               MOVL AX,0(CX)
#                               MOVL AX,4(CX)'
#                       }

Much appreciated.  How much of the p9p work am I duplicating right
now?
