I've installed MacMinix on a 5mo SE30, with a FRENCH system 6.0.5

#define _FLAME

1) Macminix does not work with french keyboard (typing the 'i' key
   give funny results (try to type 'Geheim' without echo this way ;-)))
2) I'm unable to read minix-st disks. I've to read them on my sun,
   convert them to msdos disks, re-convert them to MacOS disk then
   'macread' all the files. Very nice compatibility... :-(
3) The 'macwrite' tools is unable to work properly on binary files.
   I've to uuencode compressed files instead of writing them directly.
4) Poor MacMinix hangs frequently, following the well known Murphy rules.

#undef _FLAME

Is somebody used uucp on macminix ?
