Documents for "lab" exercises.
Check the Lab or Labs tree of the class Pub directory on CS. Here are two correct spellings of the class Pub directory's name:
```
        /var/Pub/4520/S_06
        /u/css/classes/Pub/4520/S_06
```
There are two spellings because of a symbolic link.....

Other documentsrelated to lecture (e.g., handouts for PPT slides) are in the Pub tree described above.
Links referred to in class
- A dining philosophers program in Ada. (Follow the link to see origin.)
- Some assorted notes about using C in a Unix environment.
  I may add things to this document as time passes -- there is a file timestamp indicated near the end of it to help us recognize different versions.
Stuff related to the text or to Minix...
Note that if you're enrolled in the class, the instructor may be able to give you local copies of some of this stuff.

  This page is primarilay for Minix Ver 3.

- On Feb 10, 2006, the links above were broken. It was fairly easy to find Minix3 manual pages, but the Minix 2.0.4 pages ...?
  The Version 2.0.4 pages appear to still be on the cs.vu.nl ftp site, and while the interface isn't as pretty, the link below got me to them on Feb 10, 2006
  Minix 2.0.4 manual pages (by ftp, but HTML formatted) The following link is prettier and also gets pages by ftp Minix manual: ftp://ftp.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/2.0.4/wwwman/whatis.html
