Cripes! I thought Minix was a pretty complete OS, but GADS, it's not .ANYTHING like the Unix I'm reading about....it's VERY true that it's strictly .Unix-like...;) The main difference between minix and current unix systems is that minix was intended to be coherent and understandable. Commercial unix vendors have never felt constained to sell a system that a single person could actually look at and say that it works. ---- BOB (webber@csd.uwo.ca)
