I am considering buying the 80x86 version of Minix and wondered:  Has
anyone been able to get a MS-DOS application to run under a COMMAND.COM
process under Minix?  I assume this is possible because commercial
80x86 Unix versions allow this.  Would this be a huge undertaking or
within the capability of a casual programmer?  Minix sounds like a
great vehicle to learn operating system theory, and I thought this
would be a good project.  Am I dreaming???
