Hello, I would like to know where the FTP'able Atari ST stuff is. What is the FTP address?

I also would like to know what archives are currently out there. I have found drsgsun (GNU C and Minix stuff, 129.22.16.2) and comp.*.atari.st archives (server), but I am looking for the PROGEM articles, and also the Minix ST serial port driver, and I did not find either of these in either place (kermit for Minix ST was at drsgsun, but it appeared that it required a driver that was not in the archive). Mistakes not to make department: I ftp'd mg2a from drsgsun (mg.tar.Z), uncompressed it on a unix (ultrix) machine to see if the ftp had transferred the file correctly and to figure out how to "untar", and then compressed the file again for transfer to my ST, only to find that Minix could not uncompress it because I had not used the option -b13 in compress on the ultrix machine. Question: is there a compress for minix which removes this restriction? (if not, I just have to retransfer down the corrected compressed file).

Bugs.nosc.mil (don't know the internet numbers) archives all messages posted to comp.os.minix, both those relating to PC's and to ST's. The serial port driver from Howard C. Johnson is definately there. Look for files ending in lzaz.att.com. There were something like 12 parts to the RS232 posting. Another good place to find archives is the Mars Hotel BBS (301-277-9408) It's accessable through PC-Pursuit and it archives most of the source and interesting articles posted to this newsgroup. >(stuff about accidentally transfering a 16-bit compressed file to his ST) >Question: is there a compress for minix which removes this >restriction? (if not, I just have to retransfer down the corrected compressed >file). Dale Schumacher posted a version of compress that handles 16-bits on the ST, sometime earlier this year. Check bugs.nosc.mil or the Mars Hotel. > >Thanks, >--Patrick Simon mpsimon@phoenix.princeton.edu 12-18-89 > >disclaimer: opinions are the author's own. -- ============================================================================== Joe M.
