I have seen postings from fellow MINIX users regarding their attempt to use
Turbo-C to compile MINIX on the MS-DOS side.  Has anyone been successful in
completely re-compiling the entire MINIX system with Turbo-C?  What are the 
end results?  Is MINIX quicker?  Is it smaller?  A follow-up summary of the
process would also be nice to see, but for now I would just like to know some 
of the basic findings.

I have had Turbo-C on back order for 3 months now with the idea of re-compiling
MINIX.  I would like to know if it is still worth my while to continue to
pursue this effort.

Thanks for the information,

-- Scott
