Hi!

First of all a happy new year to all of you.

I just noticed that ast posted minix/pc 1.5.0.
This note is to let you know that an ST version is in the works.
It will be out in due time.

The current status is that the whole stuff is running, but it needs some
cleaning up, and there is still a last bug to catch. 
ST 1.5.0 will have the same mm/fs/lib/init/commands/include as the PC version.
(plus a few ST specific things, minus a few PC specific things).
The kernel is only partially integrated. This is due to
- different hardware so the drivers are different
- limited time (I did not come to integrating the tty driver).

The 1.5 version dhrystones around 630.

Since I do not want to repost a lot of sources, I urge everyone to keep
a copy of the PC 1.5 distribution. I will NOT be reposting source files
from the PC distribution.

So please, please keep the PC version.

By the way: the ST 1.5 version is not an "official" version.
That is: Johan Stevenson agreed that I should post this, but he reserves
the right to deviate from it for the official version. Most likely my
1.5 version will never be available from PH.
