Hello.  I would like to ask couple of questions:

The PC/8088 emulator that comes on the TAPE distribution of MINIX, is it
an emulator for the 8088 processor or for the PC-DOS operating system, and
how accurate is it (anyone has the emulator?)?

Does the source to the emulator come with it?

If I order the TAPE distribution, will I be able to copy the sources
from tape to floppies and have something close to the XT-640K distribution
and be able to build it on PC???

Also, how can I tell if I get the original MINIX distribution or the
NEW, UPDATED VERSION that Prentice-Hall is supposed to be shipping in June?

Can anyone remind me on how to get the compiler sources!

Does anyone know if the separation of as and ld has been completed and if
the new versions will be in the new, updated distribution?

Thanks to all with knowledge!
