Is it true that PC-MINIX applications are limited to 64K for instructions and
64K for data (small model)? Is this still the case with version 1.5? Are there
any proposed solutions to this? What about intoducing somethig similar to
Turbo Pascal's Units into the MINIX Pascal compiler? Is it likely that PC-MINIX
users will ever be able to run applications like TeX, X-Windows, etc.? Does
anyone know what approaches have been taken by makers of other multitasking
operating systems for the PC?
