As a reward for working so hard on revising SCO-2, I decided to give myself
a little reward: I could hack on MINIX for a few days.  What I decided to do
is take a look at some of the stuff I'd saved since 1.3 to see what was usable
and what was not.  A surprising amount was not.  A lot of programs didn't
compile or work at all.  Maybe they were compiled with Turbo C or something
else, but in any event, I ended up throwing out a lot.  Another class of
stuff worked, but didn't seem very useful.

What I have done is collected some include files, libraries, and commands
from the postings that I intend to include in 2.0 eventually.  I have cleaned
them up a bit where necessary and installed them on my disk, so they are now
part of my "current" system in some sense.  I will now post all the programs
or cdif listings relative to 1.3, as seems appropriate.  This batch contains
ten postings:

----- 22 Jan 1989 -----
 0: intro
 1: include
 2: lib/1
 3: lib/2
 4: commands/1	(new programs)
 5: commands/2	(new programs)
 6: commands/3	(cdifs, general)
 7: commands/4	(cdifs to make and sh)
 8: helpfile/1
 9: helpfile/2

I would suggest that everyone incorporate all these changes into his or her
system since they will all be part of the "official" system later.  However,
to avoid the transitive closure problem we had with 1.3a -> 1.3b -> 1.3c -> 1.3d
I will post all subsequent fixes relative to the original 1.3, even though
that means repeating some stuff.  I urge everyone else also to post cdifs
relative to 1.3.  This will mean that people who don't have time to install
this stuff now will be able to skip it if it turns out to be superseded by
another posting in half a year (or whatever).  Just so we can talk about it,
let's call this batch of 10 files V1.4a.  (I don't want to call it V2.0a
since I regard the main point of 2.0 to go to POSIX, and this stuff is not
related to POSIX.)  Whatever you do, please keep 1.3 around somewhere,
as a base for subsequent cdiffs.

The helpfile (2 parts) was derived from the troff input for the revised
Appendix C, which I am not going to post.  It uses underlining for italics.
Bold is lost, but otherwise it seems ok. I deleted all blank lines.

I haven't looked at the other directories yet.

I am not posting kermit because it is large and probably most people have it.
I am not posting stevie because it doesn't work.  Has anyone successfully
compiled and run stevie on the PC?  (It compiles, but acts weird, scrolling
pieces of the screen, etc.)
