Just for those who are interested in seeing progress: On
ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de:pub/linux/transputer is an updated version of
Stuart Menefy's port of Minix to transputers.  Changes are:

-  newer boot loader (with source)
-  beta version of lcc (not too good code quality yet)
-  as, ld (ld is miles faster now)
-  ANSI-fied DECUS cpp (with source)
-  some more utilities (some with source)
-  a tiny readme file for the rootfs
-  libc.a (Thanks to Andy for permission to distribute it with
   this demo!!)
-  some preformatted manual pages

In order to be able to compile things you will need header files, for
which diffs will be released hopefully soon.  Please note the conditions
under which compiler and assembler can be used and copied!!

To make it clear: MINIX IS NOT FREE AVAILABLE.  THIS IS ONLY A DEMO
AND ONLY USEFUL FOR EITHER GETTING AN IDEA WHAT THE TRANSPUTER PORT
LOOKS LIKE OR TO HAVE A BOOT IMAGE TO START WITH FOR FOR PEOPLE WHO OWN
A COPY OF MINIX.
