I hate to be a nag, but what, if anything, is going on with the Minix 
demo?  For those of you who haven't followed this thread, Bill was
asked if we would want it posted to cbip.  He threw the idea at us, and
we overwhelming agreed that we'd like to see the Minix demo.

After a while, someone asked about it, and Bill said that he had to do
some hairy stuff to test it out, so it would be a while.

As I said, I hate to nag about it, but what's the current state of things?
Has the idea been scrapped?  Shelved indefinitely?  Is it being posted
as we speak (write?)?

If it's not coming to cbip in the near future, is there an ftp site that
has the demo version of Minix?  I understand that Minix is not public
domain, but if they were going to post this demo it must be freely
distributable, so is it being distributed via ftp?

Just curious...
