If you don't get the book, don't get MINIX. If you have questions, Prentice-Hall will tell you to mail ast@cs.vu.nl. Don't do this. He is busy. Don't mail Glen Overby. He'll say RTFM. Get a copy of the book. It's worth the money ($47.95 US, by the way, notice it doesn't say that above). Glen, PLEASE change the info sheet to make it clearer that the book is a must- have item. I've asked you several times. -- Ben Cox b-cox2@uiuc.edu
