(Hence the delay in > updating to v1.5.5) I am interested in the mouse driver and UDP, I also suspect that some of us would like to know that. I belive a reasonable number number of minixers would like to see that. To those who still have 1.2 you could post the diff's. To the rest of us, looking at the diff's would be better than nothing. To the future, if one of the Implementors gets some time to kill, maybe we will see TCP/UDP/IP et al. in version 1.5.7 or 2.0 ( Am I day dreaming or what ? ) -- ---- Jose Pina Coelho | BITNET/Internet: jpc@fctunl.rccn.pt Rua Jau N 1, 2 Dto | UUCP: jpc@unl.uucp 1300 Lisboa, PORTUGAL | ARPA: jpc%hara.fctunl.rccn.pt@mitvma.mit.edu Home phone: (+351) (1) 640767
