FreeMiNT, minix partitions and executables

[Andrew Colvin <apc@raleigh.zynet.co.uk>]

Hi all,
       Just a quick observation I have noticed when moving to 
       freemint.  Executables on minix partitions have to have 
       there executable bit set (even for root).  This is as 
       expected for normal users but this is different behaviour 
       from my early mint kernel.  Is this a new feature or has 
       a bug crept in?


       Also thanks to Dan Ackerman my GemMail is now available 
       on aaue so go get it and give me feedback.  My next 
       incarnation will tidy up the code (I have alread started) 
       and combine the two parts.  However, can somebody tell me 
       what will happen if I fork a Gem application.  Will the 
       child be recognised as a gem application without an 
       explicit appl_init (I doubt it) and when I kill the child 
       process should I just exit or do the usual appl_exit 
       stuff?
