MINIX
     
         /MIN-ix/ A small {operating system} that is
        very similar to {UNIX}.  MINIX was written for educational
        purposes by Prof. {Andrew S. Tanenbaum} of {Vrije
        Universiteit, Amsterdam}.
     
        MINIX has been written from scratch and contains no AT&T code
        -- neither in the {kernel}, the {compiler}, the utilities, nor
        the libraries.  Although copyrighted by Prentice-Hall, all
        {sources}, {binaries} and {documentation} can be obtained via
        {Internet} for educational or research purposes.
