On the other hand, a lot of the code posted for use on Minix would probably work on OS/88. The kernel and system dependent utilities were written by Dan Lanciani at Harvard; the remainder is collected PD U**x equivalents. It is available from the Austin Code Works people who have always given me good service. I have the original version which runs fine on my IBM PC but crashes on my wife's turbo clone. There may be an update which makes it more portable, ask ACW. Thos Sumner (thos@cca.ucsf.edu) BITNET: thos@ucsfcca (The I.G.)
