LCSYM stabs require some extra footwork because their value isn't known
until after the referenced symbol is given a location. The solution is
to treat them as forward references. Note ugly kluge with 'exprisname'.

NBPW changed to NBWD to avoid conflict in param.h

Add copyright

init type so .stabs of static arrays will work under dbx.

fix bug causing filled data to not advance the location counter
during pass 2

fixed debugging info and phase error message for label defs.

savestr now saves strings in both a file and in core; fixed
a bug with savestr being too generous in saving strings in core

bye bye fixed names (eg, FLEXNAMES is not set)

bye bye VMS: UNIX only. All the preceeding changes to the symbol
table stuff were never tested under VMS

The string pool is maintained both in core, and in a second tmp file.
names are in core and on the file; strings are just in the file. The file

The string pool is maintained both in core, and in a second tmp file.
names are in core and on the file; strings are just in the file. The file
is maintained as a string table per a.out(5), and tacked onto the a.out file
at the very end. The string table has more than need be, since discarde
labels and .ascii strings find their way (harmlessly) into the string table.
the string file maintained with stdio; nothing fancy, even if -V set

consolidate character buffer length definitions (manifest constants)
into one place, with documentation

DQ quoted strings no longer put into the temp file, but stored

DQ quoted strings no longer put into the temp file, but stored
directly into the string spool; this fixes serious efficiency/size bugs
in the temp files. DQ strings put into string pool with preceding 2 bytes
indicating the length, with a trailing null byte not accounted for in the
2byte length; .asciz and .stabs change length and magically get null byte;
all string moves (lookup and reader) done by subroutine call & movc3

complain if the .words in a case table branch too far (eg,
the .word expression overflows) We don't complain if other expressions overflow

shiftover calls special complaint function to get reasonable error messages

kludged stab handling to cope with (name+val) locations

Fix reported and outstanding bugs. Reformat some text for
readability/understandability. Assembles new instructions for G and H
format floating numbers & new queue instructions
asscan.c split into 4

Fix reported and outstanding bugs. Reformat some text for
readability/understandability. Assembles new instructions for G and H
format floating numbers & new queue instructions
asscan.c split into 4 files; two additional files to construct and
manipulate G and H format numbers, with analog for atof()
Numerical accuracy of new atof() not verified; standard atof() used
for F and D floating numbers. As does NOT use G and H instructions itself

Catch relocation of floats and 8 byte qtys; restructure outrel

All error messages to stdout

Add .fill rep, size, value directive
