Is the Minix shell that was distributed on the net recently considered to be in the public domain? It looks like it would make a nice shell for the Atari ST. If someone were to port this shell to the Atari ST, could they then distribute it to others as public domain software? Karl Rowley rowley@ames-nas.arpa

The program was distributed without copyright by the author to a very large number of people. By definition, this makes it public domain. I applaud Andy's efforts. I'd have bought his book by now, but I haven't seen it in the bookstores yet.
