I have just purchased MINIX Version 1.1 for the ATARI ST and need some help. 1. Is the four part update package that was recently posted valid for this version as I hear talk of other versions (1.2, 1.3, etc) ? 2. The instructions call for using "patch" which I can't seem to find on my distribution disks ???? 3. The four part update package had a problem with "cu.tar". Is there any chance of having this portion re-transmitted ??? 4. I have noticed other references to "sed" which also seems to be missing from my distribution disks (but not required for the four part package) ?
