Recently I posted an article asking a question about a new Minix book I
saw in the bookstore.  The book is a paperback book, entitled "Minix for
the IBM PC, XT, and AT".  I already have the "Operating Systems, Design
and Implementation" book.  I was wondering if I should get the new book
also.

Sorry to bother the net with stupid questions.  There is too much
traffic here already.  Here is the answer to my question that others
sent me e-mail asking me to post.


%MINIX INFORMATION SHEET
%
%2. HOW CAN I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MINIX?
%MINIX is described in detail in the following book:
%
%     Title:       Operating Systems: Design and Implementation
%     Author:      Andrew S. Tanenbaum
%     Publisher:   Prentice-Hall
%     ISBN:        0-13-637406-9   (Hardcover)
%                  0-13-637331-3   (Paperback, outside of U.S. and Canada)
%
%There are also French and Spanish translations of the book available, and a
%German  version is due out soon.  The paperback MINIX Reference Manual is a
%subset of the book; It contains only the MINIX  specific  information,  not
%the  general  background stuff on operating systems that the book contains.
%The software package does not contain a manual; this is  contained  in  the
%appendices  to  the book, which also contain a complete source code listing
%(in C) of the version 1.1 MINIX kernel.
