I'd like to be able to do floating point in Minix, but all the functions
fall into a dummy routine in 'fakfp.s'. Does anybody (Andy?) out there
know what each function declared in fakfp would do if it existed?

Also, a friend of mine, Callum Gibson, is writing a tcsh-like shell for
his Honours project, and I'd love to port it to Minix but there's a few
system/library calls missing. Could anybody who has the code for the
calls below post it to me and/or the net:

closedir
execv		(Done by Terrance Holm?)
execve		(Done by Terrance Holm?)
feof		(A macro somewhere?)
fputc		(Declared in 'fputs'?)
free		(Declared in 'malloc'?)
getcwd		(Done by Terrance Holm?)
getwd
isdigit		(A macro somewhere?)
localtime	(Declared in 'ctime'?)
lstat		(Declared in 'stat'?)
opendir
pclose		(Declared in 'popen'?)
readdir
realloc		(Declared in 'malloc'?)
setpgrp

Thanks !
