MiNT is Not TOS: A Multitasking Operating System Extension for the Atari ST
Copyright 1990,1991,1992 Eric R. Smith.
Copyright 1992,1993,1994 Atari Corporation
All rights reserved.
THE MiNT SOURCE CODE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE, AS IS. ATARI

SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. USE THIS
CODE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the source code for the current version of MiNT. There are
lots of changes, of course, but no docs. Sorry. The "changes" file
does provide a useful list of things that have changed since previous
versions of MiNT.
Please read the notice in "copying" carefully. This code is completely
unsupported; you use it at your own risk. Because it is unsupported
(and undocumented) we are distributing it in source code only form.
Users who wish a binary version of MiNT should purchase MultiTOS.
Anyone who wants to use this version of MiNT should be fully aware
of the risks involved in using unsupported software, and should
also be comfortable enough with C and the process of compiling that
they can fix bugs themselves. Please respect the conditions in "copying"
(in particular please do not redistribute binary versions of this
program). Source code to future versions of MiNT will not be made
available if these conditions are violated.
This version of MiNT is compiled to use memory protection by
default. If you want to use the version of the AES from the ROM,
you'll have to (a) turn off the -DMULTITOS flag in the makefile,
and (b) after compiling rename "mint.prg" to "mintnp.prg". If
MiNT notices that it is called "mintnp.prg", it will come up
with memory protection disabled (this is necessary because the ROM
AES violates memory protection in several ways). You can also
disable memory protection by setting the "no_mem_prot" variable
in memprot.c and recompiling.
