[comp.os.minix] Qestion on overby bootstrap files

simpson@maxwell.waterloo.edu (01/20/90)

I found a FTP sites a couple of days ago that has some
MINIX stuff. I saw a couple of file

	PC-X.BOOT-0    Overby bootstrap
	PC-X.BOOT-1
	PC-X.BOOT-2
	PC-X.BOOT-3
	PC-X.DRAFTH	POSIX draft header files

Does anyone know what they are and how to use them?
I don't seem to be able to find the information from
the site.

I always thought vm1.nodak.edu's FTP archives were fairly well advertised...

I guess I should know how to use it, since I wrote it.  There is a file
named "README" in PC-X.BOOT-1 in which I explain what the package is
intended to do, and how to use it.  Note that it is for Minix 1.3.

This contains header files from the IEEE 1003.1 standard.  I typed them in
long ago, and the ones on Minix are probably more accurate as well as simply
work with Minix.
