I imagine this post will attract several flames...sensitive types be careful!

A few questions:

  o  Is there a source to FTP manpages that work with Minix?  I can get them
	from the unix box at work, and (sort of) read them...if I can get man
	to work.... nroff -man file |more seems to work pretty well, is
	this the recommended way?  If not, is there a guideline better than
	the manual for this?
  o  A few times today I've run into mentin of job control.  What is this
	mysterious brew?  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it
	basically mean that a 'suspended' process just doesn't get any CPU 
	until it's revived?  Is it currently in development?

I guess that's all for right now, cheers to all....
