Say, this multi-tasker has really gotten a lot nicer in the year or
so since I last saw it. Thanks very much, Fred Brooks!
At this moment I'm posting news via KA9Q running as a subprocess
under MX2. This is pretty slick; I can leave the SMTP mail server
running all the time and still use my machine for local work. I
think a reasonable next step could be to move this KA9Q code into
a shared library, or at least pieces of it.
Is anyone else using this stuff? Minix is nice, with a real filesystem
and all, but it's too slow. Nifty programs like this make me believe
working with TOS isn't a lot cause after all...
