We used Xinu in our operating systems course last year, and will use it again this year. The version I have is from 10/87 (version 6). What is the 'latest and greatest'? What improvements have been made? Thanks, David Brown

It features networking software, a shell, and other features from Dr. Comer's second book (Xinu II). We have just finished a new distributed downloader and a "suped up" bootloader as well, but this doesn't affect the O.S. Hope that helps...
