5299.0. "Amiga Minix Virtual consoles Patch 1.5.10.2 " by WELSWS::GILMOUR () Tue Dec 24 1991 05:09

    The latest upgrade to AMIGA Minix is out. I have installed it. It gives
    four consoles. One real three virtual. this means you can login four
    times. Each console window can have different colour foreground
    background and supports most vt100 escape sequences. IMHO this brings
    it level with the AT*choke*I, other version. I think its a better
    implementation because it has an alarm signal to make you look at the
    main console window if  the kernel emits an error message. In the other
    versions with virtual windows I have missed unrecoverable error
    messages hence the state of my file structure has become corrupt.
    
    There is a new assembler string handling library and the screen output
    is speeded up because it uses the copper(?) instead of bit maps. I have
    not tested it on 680x0 machines yet. I whould think it still works.
    
    Where is it?. Well I have got it safe just email me. There are some
    small fixes to apply so I will send those as well.
