I agree 100% about ST Minix, but do you really think we need a new group
already? Shouldn't we co-exist with the IBM Minix users for a while so
we can learn from them? There isn't so much traffic in comp.os.minix
that we need separate groups, I don't think.  The IBM folks might get a
little jealous of our "large model" compiler though :-).  Maybe this
discussion should be repeated in the minix group before doing anything.
