I was wondering if there has been any news on the release date of MacMINIX since
the article in UNIX Today.  Also, I have a few questions about MINIX itself, and
where one can get executables that will run under it (and/or source code).

Is there an alternative to the Bourne shell, like cshell or another, more
functional shell?  As I understand, you can't alias commands with the shell
that comes with MINIX, which is supposed to be "functionally equivalent" to
the Bourne shell.

On DOS machines, is it possible to run DOS programs under MINIX, in a subshell?

Where can we find sources/executables for things like sz/rz and the vi clones?

Is there a Pascal compiler available for MINIX?

And in general, how does MINIX compare with the other UNIX's for micros,
like SCO, XENIX, etc.?

Thanks a lot for your help!
