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. -- Gerry Wheeler Phone: (519)884-2251 Mortice Kern Systems Inc.
