I have some questions about 1.3 that I'm sure you can answer.
Simple Question: Will V1.3 support Turbo C?

As far as I can tell, this topic has never been covered in the past 3
months.  About the only reference I can find is in the referal to MINIX
archives.  I guess what I'm hoping to hear, is that the V1.2 to Turbo C
diffs have been incorporated into V1.3.

A few friends and I are thinking of bring up MINIX on a new machine this
summer, and with the coming of V1.3, would like to keep the software
up-to-date.  To help with the debug cycle, we'd prefer to do the work in
Turbo C (we were really impressed on how fast we could rebuild MINIX
with Turbo C).

We could if we had to, regnerate a vanilla V1.2 from the diffs and V1.1,
but that would waste at least a week of time.
