chap9.man.txt
Updated 16.12.97

Kees got the OK from Andy to post the Minix 1.5 Reference Manual
Extended Manual Pages chapter (referred to frequently in the section 
0 man pages as Chapter 9, although actually Chapter 10 in later
versions, after the release of Minix for the Sun SPARC). 

I decided it would be nice to have the chapter 9 material accessible on
line. It now appears in the Minix 2.0 as section 9 of the man pages.
You can also download it as flat text files collected in a shar file, 
ExtManPgs.shar.

For Minix 2.0 many pages need at least a little revising, some are
obsolete, and there is one (mdb) which is for 68000 platforms only.

I didn't try to update, although here and there I made a comment. I did
reformat it so it's readable on an 80 column screen, and in the process I
found and corrected a surprising number of little errors that are for the
most part also in the printed manual that came out with 1.5.  (P-H didn't
put their best editors to work on this one, I guess).
