After waiting awhile for PH to smooth out their disk distributing operation,
I finally ordered Minix 1.3.  After about 1.5 weeks the disks arrived.  Guess
what, version 1.2.   When is 1.3 going to ship?  I seem to remember someone
saying it was shipping already?  What a drag.  Anyway, 1.2 works with my RLL
hard disk where 1.1 didn't.  Doesn't give the right number of sectors, but that
can be fixed.  I guess I'll have to give PH a call.  On another subject: what
version is the separate I & D compiler/asld going to be released?  (If ever).
I was looking at ways to incorporate sharable text segments, but without a
seperate I & D compiler, there would be no way to test it.  Seems that a lot
of RAM is wasted on a fork, and multiple shells.
