This changes the BDOS call from CPM_BDOS_CONSOLE_INPUT to
CPN_BDOS_READ_CONSOLE_BUFFER. This allows commands like ^H to delete
characters and ^C to exit to CCP. This is more like how Unix read(2)
uses canonical mode of termios to read a line.
This change has a disadvantage: the user buffer to read(2) must now be
large enough for an entire line. This is because CP/M, unlike Unix,
lacks a kernel buffer to hold the rest of the line. If you use a
buffered input library like stdio to call read(2), then it works; but
if you try to read part of a line or a single character, then it
doesn't work.
Old .o files stop working if they use floating point. One must
recompile those files. Old files don't call libfp in the correct way,
and may use symbols that I removed from libem. I don't keep old
symbols in libem/flp.s, because a program that pulls both libfp and
flp.s would get "multiply defined" errors in the linker.
I teach mach/i80/ncg/table to use libfp by copying or adapting the
patterns from mach/i86/ncg/table. I did not test all the patterns,
but I did use `ack -mcpm -fp -O4` to compile examples/mandelbrot.c,
then I ran it in the emulator YAZE-AG. It worked, but it was slow.
directories --- wrangling descr files was too hard. C programs can be built
for cpm, pc86, linux386, linux68k!
