[comp.os.minix] Public Domain Patch

phcch@phuxc.UUCP (C.C. Chesser [Charles]) (05/13/87)

Can someone email or post a PD patch program
for Unix SYS V.
Thanks in advance.

ges@gitpyr.gatech.EDU (GERALD E. SULLIVAN) (05/15/87)

Could somebody please give the complete publication info of
"The Book". Excuse my ignorance, I'm new to this group.
When I ask for "The Book" at a bookstore they send me to the Bible
section.

Thanks.

     So many people have asked for patch that I've decided to do
something about it.  Those who have access to a machine that can
do UUCP transfers can get patch from me.  Call for details.  (I'm
in from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, eastern time.)

     What you will need:

     	  A computer that can do UUCP.
     	  A 1200 or 2400 baud modem.  I can't talk at 300.
     	  Willingness to pay phone costs for 117k.  This
     	       will be about 10 minutes at 2400 baud.

     Patch is a product of Larry Wall, who has 'copylefted' it.
Anyone who has it is free to redistribute it for non-commercial
use.  If you get it from me, please do distribute it to the other
Minix users in your area.  My version has all patches up through 8
applied.  I am not aware of any later patches to patch.

     Sorry, but diff is covered by the AT&T license.  I don't know
of a copylefted or PD diff.  Perhaps someone at Project GNU has
one?
