MINIX is a UNIX clone that is available with source code. The subdirectories here relate to MINIX in one way or another. None of them contain the MINIX source code, which is copyright (see demo/Announcement for information on how to obtain it). All the files in these subdirectories are copyright, but may be uploaded, used, and duplicated for educational and research purposes. Other use requires written permission. Please contact me for details. This directory contains the following subdirectories: demo: Contains an uploadable demo disk for MINIX 1.6.24b: Contains cdiffs to go from MINIX 1.5.10 to 1.6.24b simulator: Contains an 8088 interpreter able to run MINIX 1.1 Each subdirectory contains a READ_ME file describing it in detail. A file named foobar.Z is a compressed version of foobar. If you think MINIX is a toy and you want a REAL operating system, look in ../amoeba. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
