While I am patiently waiting for my copy of A. Tanenbaum's book describing Minix, I have decided to direct the following question to those of you that have seen the book or have used the Minix system. Which of your favourite (read as "most useful", "couldn't live without", or "can't figure out why they didn't include it") Unix system calls, utility programs, libraries, etc. are missing from Minix and the software that accompanies it? If you list software that is not generally available on most/all Unix systems, then indicate what system it is found on. Please respond by e-mail only. If there is enough interest I will summarise the responses and post them to the net. Thank You, Greg Lomow. Usenet: ....![ubc-vision,ihnp4]!alberta!calgary!lomow
