Even if a new edition appears it would soon afterwards become old. -The manuals for version 1.5 are not sold separately, but only with the diskettes for a price of $120. If MINIX is to be used for teaching , should each student buy one MINIX set? - Many software companies are aware of this fact and permit, for educational purposes, the copying of user manuals. PH is formally halting in this aspect. Was MINIX intended for educational purposes?. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Luis Barriga + The Royal Institute of Technology + + + Dep.
