This is the monthly posting about the Minix archive at minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au
[131.236.20.90]. Access it via anonymous ftp. The readme is below.
The latest uploads to the archive are also given below.
----
Welcome to the minnie Minix archive. It contains all the large postings in
comp.os.minix since the release of Minix 1.5.
To make it easier for me to maintain this archive, all files are available
as they were originally posted in comp.os.minix - for multi-part programs
you will have to ftp all the parts.
The first thing you should do is get the `hundred' file in the top directory
which lists all the files in the archive. Then cd into the appropriate
directory to get the files you want.
If you have already got the hundred file, and want to know about additions
to the archive, get the `newfiles' file. This file and the archive are
updated every day or so. Every month I append `newfiles' to `hundred'.
The archive directories are broken into `posting number' groups. For example,
the directory 12500 holds the large postings which had posting numbers 12500
to 12999.
You may find the archive slow. That's due to several reasons. Firstly, the
archive is in Australia. Secondly, it's running on a 10MHz IBM XT running
KA9Q, and using a 3c501 card to connect it to the local Ethernet. Your
patience is appreciated. You can speed things up tremendously by ftp-ing
binary-wise, but you will have to strip off all the ^M characters at your end.
The archive may be unavailable during local working hours, 2300 GMT to 0700
GMT. If you can't get through, try again outside these hours.
Extra note - I've copied all the files from ccadfa.cc.adfa.oz.au into
appropriate subdirs check, manuals and clam. The files are still on ccadfa.
