I have an ST using colleague who would like to download the source of MINIX (v1.5 or v1.6) for the ST. It ain't on uunet - where is it. I am assuming that it is actually available.

The only thing that's usually offered on archive servers are diffs to upgrade existing MINIX sources to a new MINIX (like the MINIX 1.3 -> 1.5 upgrade). Whenever complete sources are posted on the net, it usually is a software package someone donated to the NET. Such stuff does not fall under PH's copyright (which is why so many large packets of complete source, such as Elvis, bawk, de, ic, kermit, ... were posted completely in the upgrade postings). To get MINIX, you'll have to buy it from Prentice Hall.
