I am a new user on the mailing network, please excuse the problems with ANY MAIL THAT I SEND. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY I AM GETTING THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE AS A COMMENT: "WARNING-ORIGINAL SENDER: TAG WAS INFO-MINIX- REQUEST@UDEL.EDU"? I want to know if Minix can be used on a PC with 3 1/2" disk. How does ONE TRANSFER IT FROM 5 1/4 TO 3 1/2? I HAVE ACCESS TO A PC WITH BOTH installed. Also, how are PC files sent using UUENCODE? UNB operates an IBM VM system running MUSIC. Do I need UUDECODE on my PC or on the mainframe? IAIN GALLOWAY Y087@UNB.CA

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY I AM GETTING THE > FOLLOWING MESSAGE AS A COMMENT: "WARNING-ORIGINAL SENDER: TAG WAS > INFO-MINIX- REQUEST@UDEL.EDU"? Their are several independent networks around, e.g. ARPA Internet, UUCP, BITNET/NETNORTH/EARN (which we are on) all of which have their own electronic mail schemes, including schemes for mailing lists. These are "gatewayed" together in various ways. On, BITNET, a mailing list is run by a program called a LISTSERV which mails a copy of everything send to it. Thus, sending something to info-minix@ndsuvm1 should, in theory, send it to everyone on the BITNET list for MINIX. There are Minix lists on both ARPA INTERNET and UUCP networks. These are interconnected, with the ARPA INTERNET considered the "root" or "master" list. The scheme is: anything sent to info-minix@udel.edu, an ARPA INTERNET address, is sent to everyone on the INTERNET Minix list, including info-minix-request@udel.edu, who automatically forwards a copy to INFO-MINIX@NDSUVM1 (and also to the UUCP list). Thus you have as sender of the message to you "INFO-MINIX@NDSUVM1", who reports that the original sender was "info-minix-request@udel.edu." By the way, if you want a message to go to everyone on all three lists, I recommend sending it to info-minix@udel.edu. Our mailer does recognize that as an ARPA INTERNET address, and will forward it there via one of the BITNET/ARPA INTERNET mail gateways. > I want to know if Minix can be used on a PC with 3 1/2" disk.

I got MINIX onto 3.5" floppies with DOS's diskcopy (or perhaps copydisk) on my Toshiba 1000.
