It comes with complete source, and it has *3* stdio packages [we haven't figured out which one is better yet...]. If your university already has MINIX, you can copy it off of them for free (that's the copyright). If not, $110 for the complete system is reasonable for ANYONE's graduate budget. MINIX was implemented by Dr. Andrew Tanenbaum. For more info, check out comp.os.minix. -- Jason Coughlin ( jk0@sun.soe.clarkson.edu , jk0@clutx ) "Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of." - They Might Be Giants
