1.
default book_ISO_3_1_0 + the DECO_minix_pack: you no need more software to run the DECO

there is "bin" dir 
type "make install" to install compiled for book_ISO_3_1_0 DECO binary, data files and tools

1.1
in case of DECO "no memory error" tune heap segment size, for example "chmem =1048576 /usr/local/bin/deco"

1.2
the DECO_minix_pack also contains other minix3 tools to support deco
	better 'termcap::minix' record of 'termcap' file
	new VGA 8x16 font 'iso866.fnt'
	new 'elle' fullscreen editor config

read "bin/readme" for more details

2.
there are no very many fullscreen file explorers for book_ISO_3_1_0 minix console, and BSD port of the DECO can be compiled for minix with minimal efforts (picture "deco minix.png").

if you do not setup MINIX network you can not access MINIX partitions via ftp by far plugin (picture "far ftp.png") and the DECO is a way to simplify MINIX file system exploring.

NOTE: 
in MINIX /dev/ttycX "ESC+digit" keys works as "function key" 

DECO has enough power to walk MINIX directory tree in place of "emergency browser" so DECO binary image can be also linked into /bin directory

the BSD port of the DECO is default version, changed for minix only just "to hide compiler error messages", so to avoid disappointment do not expect from the DECO version more than help you to walk MINIX directory tree.

MINIX network LANCE is also can work terrible with virtualbox, but anyway "ftp far plugin + DECO" pair to explore book_ISO_3_1_0 is better than nothing (better than bare /bin/sh).

3.
there is "src" dir 
	cd to "deco" subdir
	"make deco" to recompile DECO
	"make install" to install DECO

in the dir you can improve the default BSD port of the DECO for own purpose. 

NOTE:
you should not run ./configure, the configure script was already executed for book_ISO_3_1_0 and result was patched
you can remove "-g" in CFLAGS to avoid "warning: unknown s_type: 98" ACK linker errors
