A couple of months ago, there were some postings announcing that a
version of Minix with demand paged memory was available, but there
was some problem with how to post (?) (if this sounds vague, it's
because I foolishly didn't save the announcement :-) If I had the message,
I'd email the author...

Is this coming any time soon, whether via archives or the net? This is
something I'd REALLY like to get ahold of, although I know it means
Yet Another Recompile.

Presumably it will also mean that existing 386 binaries won't be running
on it? Or can one simply chmem for an initial allocation, instead of the
current "big enough for any eventuality" situation?

Would joining the referees group be a quicker way to get it?

Thanks for any leads on this.

Don.
