HI,
I do not yet have minix (but I will when the mac version comes out
RSN), but I have a couple of questions:

1) will I be able to use minix filters (cat/more/sort) with mac files?
2) does minix have Vmemory?  else, what is the minix address space?
3) Have large unix programs been ported to minix? someone last week
mentioned GNU C.
4) Is minix posix compatable?  is it drifting/evolving that direction?

Thanks,
