Default Validating the source files needed to create the 8 bit version of "MERLIN.SYSTEM"

Hi, y'all!

The source for the Merlin IDE has been available for over two
years at the Asimov site, according to the date stamp on "MER8.Src.
259.SHK". However, in this archive, there isn't any documentation
about how the pieces fit together. Well, at least, I couldn't find
it. This morning, I uploaded an image file to the Asimov site that
contains all the source files needed to generate version 2.59, but no
others, plus step by step instructions to assemble the four primary
source files, to bind together the four generated object files and to
compare the newly generated "MERLIN.SYSTEM" against the original. The
URL for the image file is:
ftp://public.asimov.net/pub/apple_II...in/VALIDATE.PO
A "Thank You" to the site maintainer for making the file available so
quickly.

Willi

And thank *you*, Willi, for puzzling this out and sharing the solution!

Great work there Willi. You are actually motivating me to get the
rest of the Big Mac stuff online.
