Well, I'm not sure it would be copyright infringement, but certainly it would be something illegal (or immoral, to say the least). What I meant to say is that I think you may be able to get MINIX through them, but of course it would be purchased, and by arrangement with P-H. I'm not sure where I got they idea they were doing that, and as I get old the memory is the second thing to go, but seems like I saw an ad saying that one could purchase MINIX through there back in the 1.1 days. p.s. congrats on getting rid of the 730. Not many people can claim to be on a system with 6-bit characters any more! John Nall
