Sorry, I thought Comic had wide distribution within the Minix community.
It was written by one of Andy Tanebaum's grad students and posted here
a few months ago.  It's on plains.nodak.edu, and I'll be happy to send it
to anybody that wants it.  It's about 50K uuencoded, so I can even post
it if there's a big enough response.  (Respond to my mailbox; don't post
your response here!)
