It's not unusual to have a OS that does not come supplied with
compilation tools.
This is the 8086 with 640K of memory.The problem with minux 1.0 is the C-compiler
was adapted to produce code specific for the 8086 architecture. Only once you
go to a non-segmented design can you get a real OS and a real Compiler.
