       @Unixbigot Exercise 22 from chapter 5 would be much more interesting (assuming it's the second edition of the Minix book) 😀

       @dalke @Unixbigot This is from the 2nd edition, but that would perhaps be a bit challenging to implement in one hour:22. Symbolic links are files that point to other files or directories indirectly. Unlike ordinary links such as those currently implemented in MINIX, a symbolic link has its own i-node, which points to a data block. [...] Symbolic links are not part of the 1990 POSIX standard, but it is expected they will be added to POSIX in the future. Implement symbolic links for MINIX.

       @dalke @Unixbigot I think the opendir and readdir syscalls only appeared only with the introduction of ffs around 4.1BSD. Before that, you had to interpret the directory entries yourself (2 bytes inode number, 14 bytes filename) - AFAIK, this was persevered even in System V, but you needed directory access syscalls to read other file systems using the VFS switch.

       Megaroids! We’re still looking for source code of the game which was distributed as a separate add-on to the Megamax C compiler. So far, we only found the source for the Mac version…

       @mntmn You could have ended up in a Futurama timeline, so I'm not sure which is the better option... 😀
