Does anyone know of any ftp sites that have the complete PC Minix 1.5 Source Code ? I tried bugs.nosc.mil and it contains the source for the Atari ST. Thanks....

It is not the complete source. you can only get the complete source from Minix's copyright holder, Prentice-Hall, Inc. From the Minix Information Sheet: 5. IS MINIX PUBLIC DOMAIN? No. MINIX has been copyrighted by Prentice-Hall. Prentice-Hall has decid- ed to permit a limited amount of copying of the sources and binaries for educational use. Professors may make copies for students in their operat- ing systems classes. Academic researchers may use it for their new experi- mental machines, and things like that. A small amount of private copying of diskettes for the use of personal friends is ok, but please do not make more than 3 copies from each original. Prentice-Hall is trying to be more reasonable than most software publishers. Please do not abuse this. On- line repositories of the full source code distribution are not permitted. All commercial uses of MINIX require written permission from Prentice-Hall; for the most part, they are willing to grant such permission in return for a royalty on sales. -- Glen Overby <overby@plains.nodak.edu> uunet!plains!overby (UUCP) overby@plains (Bitnet)
