Karl just sent out a patch to minix in pc532-src which is against Bruce's September 14th base release. Question - is there any difference between this base release (the 14th) and what Bruce sent me, oh, in July or so? Bruce? My disk is at the border (back from the doctor :-() and I wanted to find out before I go through all the hassles of serial downloading the image only to find that I am down/uploading a seriously dated distribution. I am certain there are other out there who have older versions and would like to know this information also. Robbin.

Bruce? Did I say that? Sorry, Bruce's release was dated July 14th, or some- where thereabouts. As a sanity check ... $ sum image minix.nm 41062 99 image 25531 22 minix.nm Overall I hope releases to be reasonably professional, with at least minimal release notes and some basic testing. This time I was rushing to get something out before heading off for a wedding in Philadelphia and didn't live up to my own standards. The next release will be before the end of the week. Nothing dramatic but rather a cleaned up version of the first release plus the driver for /dev/rtc and a slight bit of reorganization to separate code from local configuration. I'll even test it and include some documentation! (If anybody has any additions please send 'em to me ASAP.) -- Karl Swartz |UUCP uunet!apple!zygot!ditka!kls 1-408/223-1308 |INet zygot!ditka!kls@apple.com "I never let my schooling get in |BIX kswartz the way of my education."(Twain) |Snail 1738 Deer Creek Ct., San Jose CA 95148
