I am almost done absorbing all the comments people have made about 1.3b.
There were many.  I will post diffs against 1.3b as soon as I can.  There
are two areas that are currently still in progress-- tty.c and printer.c.

The purpose of this message is to ask people for their opinion of the 1.3b
printer.c vs. the one Barry McMullin posted recently.  I would greatly
appreciate it if lots of people would try either or both of these and then
send me mail specifying
  - your machine
  - PC or AT 
  - which version of MINIX (1.1, 1.2, 1.3a, 1.3b)
  - which printer
  - which driver
  - what happened
If enough people respond I can hopefully make a reasonable choice as to which
driver seems to be better.

More about tty.c when a couple of things now in progress get done.
