I just received email asking: > What version of Minix is this relative to??? > > Are these corrections to 1.3c, do you expect ast to grab them and > include them in 1.3c, or what? I am going to buy Minix when 1.3 comes > out, and really want to know beforehand what I'm going to want to save > until I get it, and what I don't need to save. > Randy Orrison, Chemical Computer Thinking Battery -- randy@cctb.mn.org There might be someone else who wants to know, so I am posting my response. ------------------------------------------------------------ First of all, anything I post from now on is an addition or patch to the most current version of XT/AT or ST MINIX. Secondly, additions to 1.3c closed awhile ago (except tty.c :-). Dr. Tanenbaum kindly included most of my patches and additions in the shipment to P-H. All future postings are to be considered as candidates for ST (1.2) or XT/AT (1.4) MINIX. The following lists the ``EFTH MINIX Reports'' you might want to save. All other reports have either been superseded or are included in the MINIX 1.3(c) release from P-H. ------------------------------------------------------------ report #2 - May 1988 - putenv(3) - NEW report #13 - May 1988 - ic(1) - NEW (an integer calculator) report #21 - Jun 1988 - last(1) - NEW (will be reposted very soon) report #23 - Jul 1988 - getppid(2) - NEW report #24 - Jul 1988 - utime(2) - FIX (to conform to POSIX) report #25 - Jul 1988 - man/cat2/* - NEW (system call "man" pages) report #34 - Aug 1988 - env(1) - NEW (sysV) report #35 - Aug 1988 - line(1) - NEW (sysV) report #36 - Aug 1988 - write(1) - NEW (in 1.3???) report #37 - Aug 1988 - stat(1) - NEW (reads file size of special files) report #47 - Sep 1988 - varargs(3) - FIX (adds a man page) report #48 - Sep 1988 - insque(3) - NEW (bsd) report #49 - Oct 1988 - look(1) - NEW report #50 - Oct 1988 - ctype(3) - FIX (to conform to POSIX) ------------------------------------------------------------ Also, if anyone has tried to email me and has not received a response, please try again. I do answer all my mail. Where it actually goes to, I don't have control over. Dale Schumacher: I am trying to get mail back to you. Please give me another routing to use. Terrence W.
