Warren and I figured that most people are I have been 'playing' with clam for a while now, and after the second patch, asld runs out of memory. c'est le vie. Not to worry however, sudden rush of brains to the head and I realise that several of the builtins aren't extensions, but are fast replacements for programs on disk, e.g. cp & ls. But, most Minix users have their root file system on a RAM disk anyway, so we get no speed advantage. So I deleted them. At this point I got some warnings from a colleague, 'watch what you delete', so I deleted chdir. :-) Thank goodness I still had sh around. Lloyd Quick, send your money to cs304pal@rata.vuw.ac.nz now! If you think anyone believes what I have just said, then you must be daft in the head!
