     Mint is Not TOS (Atari), "MiNT"

	

	MiNT
     
         (MinT is not TOS - a recursive acronym) A
        freeware, open source operating system for the Atari ST
        range of computers.  MiNT was originally based on a port of
        BSD to Atari ST computers by Eric R. Smith.  MiNT gave the
        Atari access to BSD's many network applications.  A short
        (1992-94) romance between MiNT and Atari Corp., who decided
        to convert the system to the MultiTOS kernel, produced a
        unique TOS/Unix hybrid, which provides simultaneous access to
        both GEM and BSD application libraries.
     
        Since MiNT is MultiTOS's kernel, it has kept all the features
        described above and, if an AES replacement is installed, it
        can show you a new face of MultiTOS.  Unlike MultiTOS however,
        MiNT is based on a different file system, that is faster and
        more flexible than TOS's.  Furthermore, thanks to the network
        support, MiNT allows an Atari to be an Internet server
        that can still run GEM and TOS applications!  This has won
        MiNT many devotees ("MiNTquisitors"), making it the main
        competitor for ASH's MagiC.
     
        Unlike Linux, MiNT can run on a Motorola 68000 with no
        FPU.  It needs at least 4 MB of RAM, more to run multiuser
        or to run GEM applications at the same time.

        Mint Is Not TRAC

	

	Mint
   (Gr. heduosmon, i.e., "having a sweet smell"), one of the garden
   herbs of which the Pharisees paid tithes (Matt. 23:23; Luke
   11:42). It belongs to the labiate family of plants. The species
   most common in Syria is the Mentha sylvestris, the wild mint,
   which grows much larger than the garden mint (M. sativa). It was
   much used in domestic economy as a condiment, and also as a
   medicine. The paying of tithes of mint was in accordance with
   the Mosiac law (Deut. 14:22), but the error of the Pharisees lay
   in their being more careful about this little matter of the mint
   than about weightier matters.

	

	MINT. The place designated by law, where money is coined by authority of the 
government of the United States. 
     2. The mint was established by the Act of April 2, 1792, 1 Story's L. 
U. S. 227, and located at Philadelphia, where, by virtue of sundry acts of 
congress, it still remains. Act of April 24, 1800, 1 Story, 770; Act of 
March 3, 1801, 1 Story, 816; Act of May 19, 1828, 4 Sharsw. cont. of Story's 
L. U. S. 2120. 
     3. Below will be found a reference to the acts of congress now in force 
in relation to the mint. Act of January 18, 1837, 4 Sharsw. cont. of Story, 
L. U. S. 2120; Act of May 19, 1828, 4 Id. 2120; Act of May 3, 1835; Act of 
February 13, 1837; Act of March 3, 1849; Act of March 3, 1851, s. 11. Vide
