I am thinking of porting Xinu to the Amiga sometime in the next year or so. I have spoken with Douglas Comer about obtaining a copy of the source that I can download and he dosen't have one. He does. however, have one for the Mac, but wants $200 dollars for a magtape and 2 Mac disks. Since I don't have the $200 for an online copy of published code for another computer, I am wondering if anyone out there has either ported it to the Amiga or has a copy already on Amiga disks. I recognize that Xinu would actually be a step backwards from the Amiga operating system (AmigaDOS and intuition) as it would not use any of the nice graphics, but I am interested in playing with some extensive modifications to it. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. -- Pat White UUCP: k.cc.purdue.edu!ain BITNET: PATWHITE@PURCCVM U.S. Mail: 320 Brown St. apt. 406, West Lafayette, IN 47906

Will that source contain modifications to XINU as outlined in Comer's second book? Surely there is online source SOMEwhere at Purdue. Comer's lab course for CS503 used to have XINU source to mess with, didn't it? You should be able to get it that way. Does he want to charge for putting it online, or for the source itself?
