I would like to let the community know that Prentice Hall is NOT necessarily
slow (although any company can goof up in particular cases).  I have ordered
two copies of minix from them and received both within a couple of weeks.
They were very friendly and efficient, but do not have extended hours,
so call early (if you are out west).

The other place carrying it is the Software Toolworks, which advertised
in such places as MicroCornucopia (before its demise) and Computer Language
(which is what Dr Dobbs calls itself these days).

There is a LARGE amount of activity in the minix newsgroup these days.  If
you tune in for about a week you will see almost every possible question
(and answer).
