We've got two archives on NDSUVM1: MINIX and MINIX-L. MINIX is manually maintained (by me) of (hopefully) worthwhile changes and additions to the current Minix version, and updates. The 1.2 to 1.3 diffs have taken up just about all the space I've got there, so MINIX-L might be a better resource. After we get a good number of fixes / enhancements for 1.3, I'll start replacing the update files with them. The other archive is from the Bitnet equivalent of Comp.os.minix, MINIX-L. This archive contains every message sent to the group since about February '87 -- before many people even had the 1.1 disks! You can search the MINIX-L archive with the listserv database commands (I don't have an example handy, but it's command syntax was copied from IBM JCL -- yuk!). Maybe I'll add an example to the Minix Information Sheet next month. Maybe. By the way, NDSUVM1.BITNET is now vm1.NoDak.EDU on the Internet. FTP in as 'anonymous' password must be 'guest'. But this is an IBM meanframe, so you're probably better off FTPing to bugs.nosc.mil. -- Glen Overby ncoverby@plains.nodak.edu, uunet!ndsuvax!ncoverby ncoverby@ndsuvax (Bitnet)
