Subject: mounting files (loop patches for 98pl4, alpha)
Organization: University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, CANADA
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 92 21:45:50 GMT


The good news:  here are the patches for loop devices as adapted
by me for lx98p4, and they work.

The bad news:  I get a segmentation violation when using df?
It looks to be coming from the FP EMU area?

So I am posting them, in the hope that someone can explain this.
Perhaps "df" needs some change too, but it happens even
when a file hasn't been mounted.


****WARNING****:  this is for hackers only:
