An archive retrieval service for old comp.os.minix articles is set up on bugs.nosc.mil using E-mail. 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: yourmailaddress 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. Your mail address should look something like one of these examples: you@stolaf.uucp cs.vu.nl!giant@seismo.css.gov person%utoronto.bitnet@wiscvm.wisc.edu user%ulowell.csnet@relay.cs.net honcho%durham.mailnet@mit-multics.arpa . E-mail is not free; abuse of the system will cause bad karma. Contents may have settled during shipment.

A conflict with our automatic mail-alias-file-distributor caused archive requests to fail recently. This seems to have been fixed. If you fail to get archive service after this, please tell me.
