Now I understand a poster who complained that Minix upgrade disks do not
fit his computer. Just got from P-H an absolutely unsolicited upgrade
to version 1.3. My only problem is that I do not have IBM-PC and
originally bought an ST version. It looks like P-H considers all
computers to be the same. Any way to stop these guys?

I know it's not compatible but it does contain amoeba sources. I want to look at mine before I return it, so I got the MIN2DOS.ARC *========================================================================* { what opinions?!? what disclaimer !?!?! ken@all.over.the.place } *========================================================================*

I presume you checked it and they indeed don't know the difference. I at least hope they kept the two piles of registration cards in different files. I'll check this out. One would think that even a moderately intelligent person would know that software for one computer does not necessarily work on another, like tires for one car do not necessarily fit another car. One would apparently be wrong. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
