The challenge was very frustrating because MESS didn't/doesn't allow double-density media in high-density drives and the images I had to work with were a mix of both. Also, the one bootable image supported only one floppy drive and had no mknod. But I did win $100 for being the first to get it to compile and run a certain program. Yay! Back in the day I had always wanted Venix so it was nice finally getting to do something with it and make money doing it. Jim
