I too filled in the registration card which is clearly marked MINIX ST in my 
case.  So what do you think I got?  The same MINIX 1.3 that John Reynolds
complained about which is for the *PC*.  Fat lot of good that does me on my
ST.

I kept the package and sent PH a note informing them of this "error" and 
asked how to proceed to have this corrected.  The ball is now clearly in
THEIR court.  
 
 BTW, is there an update to MINIX ST 1.1 which is equivalent to MINIX 1.3 
 for the PC?
 
Also, is there a new compiler available for the ST?

Thanks Andy for a nice product/learning tool.
