This mainly has to taking UNIX files off of your Mac file system and importing them into the MINIX file system... For the MacMINIX folks out there that have problems importing files from the MacFS to the MINIX-FS (using macread) I have a quick suggestion. I was finding that reading in binaries (for tar, compress, etc..) didn't work; it brought them in with every other line missing. What I found worked was using a tool called "SMPT". I grabbed it off of wuarchive.wustl.edu. This tool allows several file conversions that are related to Mac <==> UNIX transfers. What I found works is selecting the "UNIX-->Mac Text" command. Works like a charm. I've been bringing in tars and compresses without a problem. For bringing in a lot of Mac files at once, the tar utility on wuarchive.wustl.edu does the trick well.
