In the announcement of Minix 1.5 ast mentions a paperback version of `the book'. I saw such a book, and I am wondering if it is up-to-date. In the section on booting up, it says that Minix boots up with the message `Minix 1.1' (something like that). The edition is dated 1987, and the ISBN is 0-13-637331-3. Can someone tell me whether this is the book to get? Secondly, if I want to fiddle with the code and recompile Minix, do I need to buy an IBM C compiler (e.g. Turbo C)? If so, are there any recommendations on which to buy?
