executive summary ------------------------------------------------------
Minx is a toy file manager described in "System-Programmierung in UNIX"
Vol. 2 [Teubner 1986, ISBN 3-519-02471-3].

This update has been mostly converted to ANSI-C and the disk resident
structures have been made fixed size (i.e., int was replaced by short
and the padding arrays have been corrected).

technical details ------------------------------------------------------
The original system runs on NeXTSTEP 3.2 and older.

The makefiles could be smarter but they are naive enough for all
systems.  This is a heterogeneous system -- set the environment
variable $A to an architecture-specific name. 'make' in the current
directory will create everything by calling 'make' in the various
subdirectories which is a shell script to create a subdirectory
$A, link files into it, and call 'make' in the subdirectory. Each
'makefile' includes 'makefile.$A' from the current directory, review
'makefile.$A' before you start. Symbolic links are used to accomodate
funny editors such as NeXT Edit.

The following make calls are supported throughout:

	make [all]	create examples
	make install	move examples to $A
	make test	[make and] run examples
	make clean	remove all but sources (do not combine with others)
	make depend	make dependencies (if makefile.$A supports it)

Make dependencies can be built with the -MM option of the GNU C
compiler.  They are stored in a file 'depend' in each subdirectory.
They should apply to all systems. 'makefile.$A' may include a target
'depend' to recreate 'depend' -- check 'makefile.NeXT' for an
example.
