cc has to be modified so that it does not erase ('rm') the scanf.o file after
linking. Remove the second last line of cc and/or ccn and that should do the
trick. Also be sure to specify the full pathname to the libc file (something
like /csys/libs/libc). Also make sure the right flags are used (-rv I think?),
it's been awhile since I installed it.
 
I guess you wouldn't if behaves as you expected, I don't use scanf so I had t
to rely on languages specs to write the thing. Hope it's what people expected.

Upon experimenting with scanf.c the only way I've gotten it to work is to
remove the #include <std.h> from scanf.c and add an #include "scanf.c"
to the program that has scanf in it.  Eric remarked that removing the
LAST TWO LINES of cc and renaming cc to compile would work so that scanf.
c wouldn't link to itself but I still had trouble with that.
I've been told that this is bad programming, but it works for me for now.

I finally was able to add scanf.c to libc.  Compile scanf.c down to
scanf.o by deleting the lnk and rm $1.o lines from cc or ccn and renaming
the cc or ccn file cclib or something like that.  Then add scanf.o to
libc BEFORE atoi.o.  The command would look like:
 
lib libc -b atoi.o -r scanf.o
 
Always do things like this on backups.  You can check libc by typing:
 
sym libc
 
Then you'll know if scanf.o is before atoi.o.
