This is a monthly posting about the minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au
anonymous ftp archive of Minix stuff. Below is the readme file, and the
list of recent additions to the archive.

Minnie also has the faqsheet and the infosheet on-line.

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. N.B *** For reasons explained below,
this archive is slow. You may want to get the hundred file from
ccadfa.cc.adfa.oz.au in pub/minix, which will probably be quicker.

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. Thirdly,
the hard disk is a very old 10Meg Miniscribe. 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.

Comments etc. can be mailed to wkt@csadfa.cs.adfa.oz.au - mail won't be
accepted by minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au.
