  $Log$
  Revision 1.5  1998-09-14 10:48:06  peter
    * FPC_ names
    * Heap manager is now system independent

  Revision 1.4  1998/08/11 00:04:46  peter
    * $ifdef ver0_99_5 updates

  Revision 1.3  1998/05/25 10:51:27  pierre
    * CR0 works now (written using DB to allow to use it we INTEL and ATT output)
    * floating_emulation bit set correctly

  Revision 1.2  1998/05/12 10:42:41  peter
    * moved getopts to inc/, all supported OS's need argc,argv exported
    + strpas, strlen are now exported in the systemunit
    * removed logs
    * removed $ifdef ver_above
