Don't hold your breath waiting for MicroWare to provide source code for OS-9 to educators. Discounts, perhaps; but never the source. MacMINIX will be just the ticket for computer science educators -- complete source code, a compiler, editor, and utilities. Let's keep on Prentice-Hall's case about this. BTW, I saw a very nicely-packaged Minix (release 1.3) for the PC-PC/AT at Computer Literacy Bookstore in Sunnyvale CA. If MacMINIX comes out looking like this, it will be very nice indeed. I think the cost was about $140, undiscounted. Maybe Prentice-Hall will do it right... Jim McCauley jem@hpulpcu3.itg.hp Disclaimer: HP says, "Jim McCauley? Does he <have> opinions?"
