(Don't have Minix-ST yet) No need to save everything if you have email. My archive saves all received articles, so you can always get them back. The archive is at minix-archive@idca.tds.philips.nl and can be accessed by including commands in the Subject or contents of your message of the form: send index # overall index send disclaimer # I am not responsible for the contents send 1989.Jan # last month's index send 1989.Jan 7161@louie.udel.EDU # referenced article send ast # index of Andy's Words (Remove the comments!) Please note that the primary intended audience of this archive is the Europe area. Not north america. The mcvax!uunet link is kind of expensive and overloaded... and besides, the americans have their own archives. I am also willing to include other usefull MINIX materials in this archive. The bugs.nosc.mil source upgrade sets are coming (I hope) and I plan to make the MGR window system source available when it is complete, for those brave souls who want to try to get it running. -- Willy Konijnenberg <willy@idca.tds.philips.nl>

If anyone has the email address of such a server (the closer to CA the better :-) please post it. Since bugs quit doing it, I haven't heard of another one and have figured that we poor souls without internet access are screwed. Thanks. ---------------------------------- mike burgett burgett@adobe.com "squid and red bean stew served daily...."

So the archives on listserv@vm1.nodak.edu (aka ndsuvm1.bitnet) should be accessible thru mail. See the "Minix Information Sheet" for details on accessing this file server. I know a few people have been successful in getting stuff from there via email from UUCP, but there have been problems with (apparently) gateways not accepting the large replies.
