[comp.os.minix] wall

david@doe.utoronto.ca (David Megginson) (05/29/91)

I noticed that either Minix doesn't have the wall(1) command, or
I have deleted it :-) This should be an easy project for anyone
interested in taking it on. I'd write it if it weren't for my
old Judo injury :-)

Look at ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de [134.95.64.1] or ftp.Uni-Koeln.DE [134.95.80.1]
if the first adress does not work for you.  The path is 
minix/commands/simple-commands, file wall.c.Z.  Works on MINIX PC, should work 
for you, too.  There are also a lot of other little nice things.

I practiced Aikido for a few years, but never had any injuries :-)

I tried all four of these (2 names 2 num addresses). The only one on
which I was successful was 134.95.80.1 
Unfortunately, there is no minix directory there!?!?
Am I looking in the wrong place? Has it been removed?

To access the copy of the minix archive on ftp.Uni-Koeln.DE [134.95.80.1],
you must cd to /thp/minix first! But note that you arrive in /pub when you
start the session.

Hope this helps.
