Pete Keleher complains of minix having a unix like file system instead
of a Macintosh HFS in the Macintosh implementation.  He wants unix
tools ported to the mac rather than a unix version 7 look (much)
alike.  

Pete,  that is not what Minix was built to be.  It is a unix-ish
operating system intended for the pedagogical use of studying what OS
code looks like and how it can be modified as course projects, etc.
If it is useful for other purposes, so much the better.  One should no
more expect Mac HFS in mac Minix than one should expect MS-DOS or any
other micro OS file system in the original PC version.
