+The present directory tree holds the just-described project - running 'make'

+objects, applying some hand-added disassembly hints in many cases.

+It is noteworthy that there are two kinds of COFF object blobs present in the
+TCS211 semi-src, with respect to the amount of symbolic information present
+therein.  The objects contained in the binary libraries under
+g23m/__out__/gsm_<blah>/lib have just the minimal amount of symbolic info
+needed in order for these objects to be relocatable and linkable, whereas the
+objects in the GPF libraries under gpf/LIB exhibit much richer "-g"-style
+symbolic information.  Our current tiobjd tool does not really take advantage
+of the richer symbolic info yet, but more work is planned in that area.
