        !             3: This directory contains the source programs for Xinu itself.  To rebuild
        !             4: Xinu, edit file "Configuration" to reflect the hardware on your VAX,
        !             5: and run make.  Typically, "make d" is used to make new Xinu object files,
        !             6: link them into a library (libx.a), compile source program "test.c",
        !             7: download the result, and invoke odt to see the output.  When you are
        !             8: satisfied that it works, run "make everything" to produce miscellaneous
        !             9: files like ",lint" and ",sizes" (a sample output from "make everything"
        !            10: has been left in file make.out so you can see what to expect).

        !            14: accessed by /bin/cc or /bin/ld.
        !            15: 
        !            16:  Note1:        The make file has been carefully constructed so it references
        !            17:        xinu.o and libx.a in THIS directory when it compiles and links
