Computing Ctr. Lines: 20 Keywords: minix, release date Summary: release date > 1/88 Minix will probably not be released for the ST until AT LEAST January of 1988. The book will not be updated until 1990 (even though PC-MINIX is at release 1.2 . . .). Don't hold your breath. Apparently it's slow work, although a lot of it is done (the easy part, I think . . . there have been postings about this from Andy Tanenbaum in comp.os.minix, and the kernel is being done in MC68000 assembly right now, at least, some major part of it is). -- Jared J.
