I have finally (with lots of help from Glen@ndsuvm1 thanks for the crcs
Glen!) figured out how to get the 1.5 files decoded. I had 2 problems:
uud wouldn't work under Minix, and it worked but the files wouldn't decompress
under DOS. There turned out to be two problems, both easy to fix (but less
easy to find!). The reason uud wouldn't work under Minix is that sscanf in
libc.a binary that was on bugs.nosc.mil appears (at least my copy!) to have
a bad scanf.s which was returning garbage for the number of results and killing
uud under Minix, the fix is to reassemble and replace scanf.s in the library.
The second problem is that the output of uud under DOS wasn't matching the
crcs in the intro posting, after much head scratching I finally figured out that
the output file wasn't being opened for binary write and was therefore adding
the lf to the correct cr and screwing up compress. Again simple to fix and I
have attached a cdif that patches this (and makes the selection of system type
clearer at least to me!) to the end of this message. Now I can proceed with
getting 1.5 up and moved across to both my Xt-clone and a PS/2 model 55 SX
(a microchannel 386 sx machine) at least I hope! Thanks to Andy for the
posting of 1.5, and to Glen for both the help and the archive at NDSUVM1.

I just discovered that uud ing on DOS doesn't work, the share filenames are too long and it happily truncates the names and then writes them over each other so you loose a bunch of the files. Copying them over to minix and then using dosread with the -a option to strip LFs and then uud ing them and decompressing them has worked for the first 31 (so far!) for me. It also appears that file 10 and file 16 have the same .Z file name so you need to either rename them or move one to another directory. If you need to do the uuds under DOS it should be possible to do it by uuding and then uncompressing and renaming the files as required (ie. do the uud and uncompress one after the other rather than do all the uuds then uncompress everything.
