Summary: This is my first post, please excuse my ignorance. I am interested in ST Minix as well. Will Mark William's C do the trick?

I have some experience with OS-9 68K and the Atari, but have never seen Minix. I understand it is an old version of Unix? I LOVE Unix! Would someone tell me about it and the ST together? I have a 520 ST with (alas) merely two single-sided floppies for storage. Am I dreaming? OS/K was a little big for my system (disk space). I have replied to several letters I've read, asking for responses, but have never received one. I imagine this will generate more visible output. In any case, tell me all about it, Okay? James E.
