[comp.os.minix] Please: HELP

Hello all,

I have followed this group for over two years, I've had The Book for almost a
year, and Minix-ST for about a month. :-)

Last weekend, I wanted to do something serious with it for the first time.
Needless to say, I found myself in a classical catch 22 situation. I don't want
to go into it, but: Could a friendly MINIX-ST netter *please* send me uuencoded
(Dumas-style, including tables -- I'm on BITNET) copies of:

    crc    sed    cv (the new version, recently posted as source)

Other helpful binaries would be arc and zoo (has arc been ported ?).
That would save me a *lot* (and I mean A LOT) of work).

My problem is that I have to recompile Minix to incorporate a hd driver for my
IC hast adapter board, since I have more than 4 partitions (and > 16 MB). If
anyone has already modified the Minix-ST hd driver to use the ICD partitioning
scheme, I'd LOVE to see that.

To recompile Minix, I first have to get all these accumulated postings onto
Minix-ST, and to take them apart I need sed, but to compile sed, I need to take
the postings apart ...

Please send word beforehand, I'll pick the nearest friendly helper ... :-)
Many, many, many thanks in advance ...
