Sorry about that. The PH telephone order number is (201) 767-5937. Use the order number above. ST Minix is $79.95 plus delivery and taxes. I received ST Minix via UPS this morning!

Which version number. 2. Which programs are supplied ( is there networking software ?). Thanks in advance. -- ________________________________________________________________________________ Klamer Schutte mcvax!nikhefh!n62 n62@nikhefh.hep.nl

Which programs are supplied ( is there networking software ?). The package is being called ST Minix 1.1. It includes various commands and features corresponding to PC Minix 1.2. There is no networking software in the pre-release I have. (There isn't even an rs232 driver. Ah, these wonderful "exercises left for the reader...") One of my goals in working with this system will be to bring it to a level corresponding to version 1.3 on the PC. It comes with compress and tar, which is pretty nice. I'm not sure I want to try to port ARC to it, since I like tar better anyway. Using register variables in the compilation, it clocks in at about 526 dhrystones/second. Anyone got ratings for other systems I could compare with? -- / /_ , ,_. Howard Chu / /(_/(__ University of Michigan / Computing Center College of LS&A ' Unix Project Information Systems
