I just read the announcement in mod.newprod about Andy Tanenbaum's new book and the MINIX system. MINIX is apparently a V7 UNIX clone and is available in source form along with the book from Prentice-Hall. It includes lots of utilities (from ar through wc :-), including a C compiler. Now, does anyone want to form a working group to port this to the Amiga? How about you guys at the Software Distillery? -Fred -- =========================================================================== Fred Fish Motorola Computer Division, 3013 S 52nd St, Tempe, Az 85282 USA {seismo!noao!mcdsun,hplabs!well}!fnf (602) 438-5976 ===========================================================================
