MINIX _was_ V7, you mean.  Ever since V1.3, MINIX has been leaning
more and more towards SystemV.  Did you ever count the number of
non-V7 utils in MINIX?

To use getty(1M) on MINIX, do:

# ln /etc/getty /etc/uugetty

and change "Xf1" to "2f1" in /etc/ttys
	    ^        ^

or use the new INIT I posted, which uses (yes, also non-V7) /etc/inittab .
