- My Xenix filesystem for Linux is ready for general distribution. I hope to
- have it on tsx-11 shortly, but until then email me if you want it.
-
- To the beta testers: there are no bug fixes, just some cosmetic changes.
-
- The implementation lacks divvy support and badtrk support.
- It also lacks mkfs, fsck, and fsdb: I boot Xenix when I need them.
- I just don't need them badly enough and don't see a big enough audience to
- warrant putting any time into it.
-
- Some general info: my entire Linux system is now on Xenix partitions
- (so I can back them up to my Jumbo 250 tape drive - from Xenix -
- kind of an expensive backup program I know :-).
