=>for general-purpose

So is zoo.  In fact, zoo is compatible across more systems than just UNIX-
derivative systems.  Has anyone successfully ported zoo to MINIX??
BTW, the current UNIX version seems to be 2.01 (my Amiga version is 2.00
though).

Theo -- good job!  Hope I can see MINIX Amiga sometime RSN (for non-Jerry-
Pournelle-fans, that's "Real Soon Now.").  Which Amiga is your host?  Mine
is a 1000.  Is your system intended to be Amiga generic, i.e., run on 
all of {500, 1000, 2000, 2500}?  Is your system intended as:
1.) a KickStart replacement,
2.) a just after KickStart program, like ArcticFox, One on One, etc.,
3.) an AmigaDOS application that takes over, a la Transformer, or
4.) none of the above?
