This list is a collection of my favourite packages I am using on MINIX
PC 1.5. It is far away from being complete, bet should be ok as a
start. Note that there are only things from the server in cologne
at the moment, because I did not want to ftp round the work for this
list. Hope this project will be successful...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This list should help to avoid unneccesary ftp and to prevent people
from reinveting wheels. There are all known projects listed, which may
be useful for MINIX. Each entry consists of:
Name, [version,][author,] short description, where to get
I will maintain this list and post it regularly. I think three or four
weeks are an appropiate distance. If you detect some of your programs
in this list and there is either a new version or you have a local
server with your stuff, please send me mail to:
mhaardt@ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de
If you want me to add something to this list, send mail too. Note that
I will also collect notes about important documents.

Oops! I forgot the ftp adress of the server in Cologne:
ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de [134.95.64.1]
People outside Europe may have problems to reach this server.
If you are sure that you are unable to connect, you can try another
adress. This is a different machine, but the archive filesystem is
mounted there, too. The adress is:
ftp.Uni-Koeln.DE [134.95.80.1]
Hope this helps.
