We use Minix 1.3 to implement exercises for the OS course.
We had the following exercises until yet:

1)  Implement P/V Operations in the MM.
2)  Improve last stuff for removing killed processes out of the list.
3)  Print a table of blocked processes and their semaphores when F4 is typed.
4)  Implement the sleeping barber

We would like to contact other universities which have used Minix for
exercises for exchanging experience, exercises and example solutions.
I also have a user level test program for 1) and 2).


We plan:                        (provided our chief agrees) 
        a scheduler with different user priorities 
        named pipes 
        virtual consoles ??? (probably too much work) 

For  rattan@frith.egr.msu.edu 
You can use :
#define         S_IFIFO 0010000 /* fifo */
as in bsd for named pipes.
