I am running version 1.4a, and 99.9% of it works fine. However, compress does not work (symptoms as Jeff states) and dosread/write does not work, claiming the disk is not an MS-DOS disk (although it is). I just use the 1.2 version of dosread/write, which works fine. Compress I don't use, since I can take care of that on the Sun before sticking it on Minix. John Nall (jnall@rai.fsu.edu)

I haven't had problems like that with anything else, so I think that those are the only two files needing -i. -- Greg Hinton {amdahl|sun}!dlb!netcom!hinton ** Don't use "hinton@netcom.UUCP" ** ** That goes to the wrong netcom!!
