I am about to send the cdiffs from 1.5 to 1.6.16 to beta-minix.  If you
want to get these, join the list by sending mail to Glen 
(overby@plains.nodak.edu).

This list also is having a lot of technical discussion that I think 
probably belongs in the newsgroup, but I can't convince those guys to
move there.

1.6.16 has:
   - almost full ANSIfication of everything
   - about 2/3 of the POSIX P1003.1 calls implemented and tested
   - a better scheduler
   - many bug fixes
   - etc.
