I was thinking more along the lines of DOS systems.  I know of a friend who
has a minix FS rescue/boot disk for linux due to size constraints.

Can't convince Jeremy about something that doesn't exist... yet. =)

True, but since the code is already in the mud (namely loading and reading
the lib/ world files) for these other systems, it may be possible to infer,
it may be possible.  We will see.

Basically it's hard to justify doing it if it's not in stock code.  Well
enough talk, labor day weekend is a good prime time to get some programming
done.
