I have just received my minix 1.3 upgrade disks (only took about a week). The question I have is what "level" of 1.3 do they correspond to? I have seen code on this newsgroup designated 1.3a, 1.3b etc., do I have to apply these to my 1.3 release or was 1.3 designated to be whatever "level" we had reached before the disks were cut?

The question I have is what "level" of 1.3 do they correspond to? The 1.3 disks from P-H are the final one in the series 1.3a, 1.3b, etc. The first preliminary one was 1.3a, then 1.3b, etc. I forget how far we got, but the P-H 1.3 corresponds to the final posting to the net and is the base against which I will post all future cdiffs (e.g., 1.4b and eventually, 2.0). Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl) P.S. I finally got my set from P-H today (at least for the AT). They changed the box, but otherwise everything seems ok. I also checked the update kit I got from them last week, and it also seems ok.
