Is the ST version of Minix limited the same way the PC version is? It's stuck with a max size of 64k for executables (bleh!)... Minix is a cool thing... You get a unix-like OS (pretty damn close!) with full source code and whatnot, for about $100 (if memory serves). [Not quite $0 like linux, doesn't have X, but runs on an 8Mhz 68000...] -- -------------------========================================------------------- Chris Herborth cherborth@semprini.tdkcs.waterloo.on.ca
