	Thanks for sending the bug fix. I and my fellow OS students
here at San Jose State thank you...


	On a related note. We ordered the MINIX the first month of 1989
from Prentice Hall - we got the license to distribute the source since
each one of the students here in the OS class bought a coyp of the book.
But we got 1.2, instead of 1.3. Now my prof has to try to get the 1.3
(he didnt know it was out by 1st of jan. )
