I would like to do all the upgrade work from MINIX 1.1 to 1.3 on my AT with Microport UNIX. Has anyone got the "readfs" utility to work under either Microport or Xenix, or even on some other UNIX system which can read PC diskettes? (i.e. 3Bx?) Dr. Tanenbaum, does it run under PC/IX? If so, could you mail me the source that compiles under PC/IX, with all the required non-UNIX (i.e. MINIX) header files? Anyone else? I do not currently have access to a system which will run MINIX unmodified, and thus cannot use the dosread/doswrite programs. Thanks in advance for any help! Wolf Paul -- Wolf N.
