annotate docs/nitros9guide/deldir.refentry @ 2798:b70d93f8d7ce lwtools-port
Updated coco1/modules/makefile and coco3/modules/makefile to help resolve issues with i(x) and s(x) descriptors.
Updated level1/coco1/modules/makefile & level2/coco3/modules/makefile
so that correct values would be sent to assembler when
building superdesc.asm for s(x).dd and i(x).dd descriptors.
