I want to get a 386 machine soon, and I want to be able to use Minix on it for things like TeX, GCC, and other big (larger than 64k) stuff. To do big things, I want to either change or obtain changes to Minix to use the virtual memory and task handling hardware on the 386. Please send comments or responses to me. I will post to the net if asked to. Thanks, Guy Helmer South Dakota Tech BITNET: HELMER@SDNET UUCP: ghelmer@loft386.uucp ...!killer!warble!loft386!ghelmer (??)
