Ahh, that makes sense. So if we build with the 1ed
"as" then those
first few lines should be commented out since they will be occupied
by the a.out header. Ahh! yess, it makes sense, e00-02 has
a section at orig+400 "copy in transfer fectors" where those
vectors are overwritten during startup.
We really should try building with the 1ed assembler. I think a simple
sed s/mount/xmount/ over the whole sources will probably fix the mount
label issue.
I adjusted my tools/dumpaout.py appropriately and tested with the 1ed
assembler. If you sed all the files to s/mount/xmount/ it builds just
fine with 1ed "as" and the a.out header is indeed 6 bytes long and
is included in the text segment... Everything is lining up..
So, I think those comment characters belong in the u0 sources, although
will have to be removed when compiling with a more recent assembler.
