	This is a joke, right?  XINU is a teaching OS described in two
books by D. Comer from Prentice-Hall -- "Operating System Design: The XINU
Approach" and ".. Internetworking with XINU"  The source for the OS
is in the first book above.  It bears little resemblance to UNIX, and
is mainly useful to illustrate the problems unique to OS design and
implementation.  As such, it has even less functionality than MINIX,
(see comp.os.minix) which still hasn't been completely ported to the Mac
as far as I know.  
	Now what I want to see is GNU for the Mac II w/PMMU.
