* Alloc_Misc.a
*
* Assembly language fragment that grabs the two parts of the serial
* resource (using misc.resource). If it gets the resource, it will
* wait for CTRL-C to be pressed before releasing.
*
* While we are waiting, the query_serial program should be run. It will try
* to open the serial device and if unsuccessful, will return the name of the
* owner. It will be us, Serial Port Hog!
*
* When a task has successfully obtained the serial resource, it "owns"
* the hardware registers that control the serial port. No other tasks
* are allowed to interfere.
*
* Assemble with Adapt
* HX68 Allocate_Misc.a to Allocate_Misc.o
*
* Link
* Blink FROM Allocate_Misc.o TO Allocate_Misc LIB LIB:amiga.lib
