[comp.os.xinu] XINU, MPW, and Multifinder

Hi,
  We're expanding our Mac Lab to include enough machines to teach our
OS courses on them, so we're evaluating software to use.  Since we
already use the generic XINU textbooks, transitioning to MacXINU
would be natural.  However, the software development environment on
the machines is already pretty fixed as MPW and/or THINK C.  Has
anyone ported MacXINU to these compilers?

	And while I'm asking, the MacXINU binary I got from Prentice-
Hall crashes the Mac when run under Multifinder.  Is it known how
much it would take to make MacXINU multifinder-friendly?  Especially
since MacOS release 7.0 will be multifinder-only...
