Please count this as a vote for posting the diff's for Turbo C.  I just 
received Turbo C Friday, the same day I ordered the actual software for Minix.
(I ordered the Book back in February, again in April, and again in June.  Still
haven't gotten it :-(.  

Following up on a number from ast, I eventually got to the right number to 
order MINIX.  The number is
                                     1-800-223-1360 (in the USA)
The number ast gave me was (210) 767-5937.  They eventually referred me to
the number above.  The apparent trick to getting the software quickly is to 
spend the extra $6 to get it shipped 2-day air.  The advantage is not in the 
shipping time, but in the fact that this bypasses their entire ordering scheme
and gets things handled immediately.  Another interesting fact is that mail 
orders receive the least attention.  All this information came from the lady
taking my order, I will be able to confirm it (or deny it) when I actually
receive my little package.  She also said that the stuff has been in stock 
since March.
