It is a function inside one of the shell scripts in the root directory.
There has been some confusion about this. Can't you just simply run
"Configure"?

I want to write something about this. Can you wait a few days?

I don't think it's worth it, because this is still version 1.1, but NetBSD 1.2
has been released on October 4th, so it's out of date now. :-(
I don't know why they made this strange structure. They told me that they
wanted to use tar files to preserve the long filenames, but in the end, they
were mangled anyway. It would probably have been easier to rename the files
anyway which is no problem in most cases.
I also don't understand why they didn't merge the updates into the first tar
archive.
The biggest sin is undoubtedly that they replaced all points by underscores
instead of slashes. Can't this be left like it is (so handling under RiscBSD is
much easier) and gets mangled under RiscOS automatically?

Oh no, Scott is going to hate this question. ;-) Anyway, I would like to know
the same, but for the Cumana card. The last thing I heard was that he was stuck
because he couldn't find the bug in the interrupt and DMA code.
