[comp.os.minix] Is PH shippings disks yet?

paula@bcsaic.UUCP (06/02/87)

Has anyone recieved any MINIX floppies from Prentice-Hall in the last
month?  About a month ago, Dr. Tanenbaum posted that he had persuaded PH
to cut through their bureaucracy and just go ahead and make more floppy
sets and send them out.  He had been told that PH would have another
batch ready to ship in two weeks.  If you have recieved anything from
Prentice-Hall lately, please drop me a brief note to that effect.  It
would ease my frustration to know that floppies are shipping and there
is light at the end of the tunnel.

In the mean time, is there anyone in the Seattle area who would take
pity on a poor hacker and let me copy their diskettes?  I have access to
both AT's and PC's, so any format will do.  I can show you my cancelled
check, if that matters.

Thanks,
