In article <m0jo7O1-0003F9C@meepmeep.pcs.com>, jkh@meepmeep (Jordan K. Hubbard) writes stuff about Minix & what should be done. I'll add one thing. It's real boooring to patch all the GNU & other stuff for include files and cripple them with #ifdef MINIX #then include <foo.h> #otherwise #include <bar.h> and such. So, I hear 1.6.something is quite near POSIX. How about getting the 1.6.something library running on top of 1.5h so everyone could be doing something useful (like saying #ifdef POSIX instead of #ifdef MINIX, otherwise doing the same as above ;-) instead of endless munging with the include files to make them compatible with an obsolete Minix version. //Jyrki
