Sure!  There's a friendly but rather finicky guy (let's call him "Eddie, the
On-Board Computer" for naming purposes) who'll be glad to send you a copy if
you ask nicely (i.e. use the right syntax).  `His' address is
archive-server@plains.nodak.edu.  For starters, drop him a line with a
simple "help" on it (the body of your message).  If you're on the Internet,
you can slither in behind his back with FTP.

Hint: all `official' fixes for v1.5 are in `(pub/)Minix/updates/1.5-fixes'.

BTW, "Eddie" should now know about a "compress12" format, and will uncompress
and re-compress with 12-bit compression any files you request that way.
