I've accumulated most of the 1.3 bits - the PH update, the missing h files, a
couple of shell scripts - but am still missing the dread 'spell', and also
'write'. Ast seems to approach spell with brooding discontent; could
someone else please mail me a copy, or say where I can find it? I don't need
it badly, but would like to get 1.3 straightened out before 1.4 lands on me.
On a related note, would it be a good idea to add a bin/local directory
somewhere in the Minix distribution, where scripts like which, and write, and
whereis can have a home? Some of them are very useful, and they certainly get
listed in most summaries of 1.3/1.4. It confuses the inexperienced, if some
of them are nowhere to be found.
On a final note, reference the great DOS war now raging, there was once a
definition of a wardroom argument in the Royal Navy:
Absolute statement followed by flat contradiction followed by personal abuse!
Good luck - Will
