Bugs.Nosc.Mil archives comp.os.minix news articles of lasting interest and other Minix material, such as a list of machines reported to be able to run Minix. Material of widespread interest includes diffs for updating v1.1 to v1.2 and preliminary fixes headed for v1.3, code developing toward a serial port driver, diffs for cross compilation under MS-C and Turbo-C, the new asld with split I&D, and recently the editor, Elle v4.1 . This material is available by anonymous FTP (during non-business hours) on bugs.nosc.mil in directory pub/Minix . The file SUBJECTS contains a list of Subject lines serving as a kind of index. The file names are mostly just the Message-Id of a news article. Several ways to get these kinds of goodies, in order: 1. Look, or ask someone you know to look, for articles still available on the machine where you read news, or on a neighbor. 2. Ask the person who posted the material to mail it to you. 3. Get access to a machine on the ArpaNet (or talk to an acquaintance who has access) and FTP to louie.udel.edu or bugs.nosc.mil . 4. To get smaller selections from the bugs.nosc.mil archive by Email, see the instructions following. 5. To get very large amounts of material from archives, talk to someone in charge of it, e.g. me, about mailing a tape. Surface-mailing of tapes is cheap. Voluminous Email is expensive, though not as expensive as posting news. Everything available to anonymous FTP in directory pub/Minix can be obtained by sending a mailed request to minix-server@bugs.nosc.mil or nosc!minix-server . Include in the message, either among the header fields or the body, a line like: Reply-To: <your mail address> and after that a line or lines naming desired files e.g.: send compatibility send SUBJECTS send 1180@botter.cs.vu.nl to get an automatic mailed reply. Notice file names are case sensitive. <your mail address> should look something like one of these examples: you@stolaf.uucp sdcsvax!ihnp4!mtgzz!guru cs.vu.nl!giant@uunet.uu.net person%utoronto.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu user%ulowell.csnet@relay.cs.net honcho%durham.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa . Email is not free. Abuse of the system will cause bad karma. Contents may have settled during shipment.

Here is a repost of the Minix archive description, to accompany my recent posting of the Minix compatibility list as reformatted by tamura@hlerul5. Bugs.Nosc.Mil archives comp.os.minix news articles of lasting interest and other Minix material, such as a list of machines reported to be able to run Minix. Material of widespread interest includes diffs for updating v1.1 to v1.2 and preliminary fixes headed for v1.3, code for a serial port driver, diffs for cross compilation under MS-C and Turbo-C, the new asld with split I&D, the editor Elle v4.1, and recently a port of C-Kermit. This material is available by anonymous FTP (during non-business hours) on bugs.nosc.mil in directory pub/Minix . The file SUBJECTS contains a list of Subject lines serving as a kind of index.
