I finally got Jove working on Minix. Quite a pain, more due to untested ANSI C stuff in Jove than anything inherent in Minix, though some were real bastards to find. Now to update to 4.14, which I just found. Hopefully this won't be too hard. Once I get 4.14 done I'll post diffs if there's enough interest. -- Karl Swartz

I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in your patches. I myself have written something that also might interest you out there: a driver for the real time clock. You talk to it through the special file /dev/rtc, by reading or writing 8 (or less) bytes from/to it, corresponding to the eight bytes in the real time chip. Makes setting the time a little bit easier, at least you don't need a spare hard disk partition :-) But I have a small distribution problem. I have it on my machine at home, but I have no net access at home, in fact, I don't even have a phone there yet :-) But I'm working on it... __ Johan Myreen jem@cs.hut.fi
