[comp.os.minix] DOSREAD sources - where are they

hgv@daphne.network.com (Harry G. Varnis) (02/07/91)

I need to apply the big-FAT mods to dosread but can't find the base
sources in the PH 1.5 distribution.  Am I blind, or what?

Could someone point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks.

Dosread, dosdir, and doswrite are actually the same file hard link to each
other.  The source can be found in ether dosdir.c or doswrite.c.
I need the big-FAT mods too.  Could you email the patch to me or post to
comp.os.minix whenever you are ready ?

   Yes, let's be!  God, did I screw this one up!

	And I apologise, with a  red face.
