I am interested in trying XINU on my Mac II (2MB main memory), but the book doesn't mention much about the compiler or tools used. Does the XINU source that you can order from the book assume a particular compiler, or is it compatible with several? I only have LightSpeed Pascal now, but I'm ready to get a C compiler. I was also wondering if anyone has added virtual memory to XINU using the optional MMU (MC68851) or the built-in MMU in the MC68030 Macs? -- Dave Newkirk, att!ihlpm!dcn

Macintosh Xinu was written for Aztec C. Aztec C comes as a basic
package with optional embellishments. When you order it, be sure to ask
for the package that has the "make" command. If you want their
debugger, I think you also have to request that. I use the Apple text
editor to edit the makefiles, because the automatically generated
dependencies include lines that are too long for the Aztec "z" editor to
handle.
Work has been done here at Purdue on Xinu with virtual memory, but
it is not in the Macintosh version.
