Good point.  PH is not dropping 1.3 because 1.5 is so different from the book.
For the academic market, they want 1.3 to still be available.  Thus if you
order MINIX from them, be sure to give the ISBN numbers in my recent posting.
These are for 1.5 and will eliminate any ambiguity.  If you just say MINIX,
you might get 1.3 :-(
