Mailer: Janet_Mailshr V3.3a (02-Feb-1989) (HEA-Patch v.1) Hi all, I've been doing other things for the past year or so, and I've just come back onto this list. Just before I left, I had pleaded for someone, anyone, to develop some kind of floating point support for Minix. I've found that, while I was away, my prayer was answered, by Peter Housel, with a pretty complete enhancement package for the compiler and library. I havn't tried it in anger yet, but its definitely functional. The point of this note is that, even though the package was posted a few months ago, I havn't noticed (flicking thru the archives) much comment about it. So I just wanted to say *I* think its a pretty useful enhancement, and publicise it again, in case other people also missed it along the way. Thanks, Peter!
