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).
