As of 3/20/91 the A/UX 2.0.1 Incremental Upgrade will be available from aux.support.aux. The A/UX 2.0.1 Incremental Upgrade includes the incremental changes made to A/UX for the 2.0.1 release. The file will be available via anonymous ftp in the directory ~/2.0.1Upgrade This directory will contain 4 files README (README and Installation instructions-- MUST READ!!) 2.0.1_FILES (Contents of the file inc.cpio.Z) inc.cpio.Z (Upgrade file, approx. 9.5 MB) 2.0.1_README (TeachText document from READ ME floppy) This package is appropriate for updating existing A/UX 2.0 systems only. Please note that the contents of this archive is a subset of the software provided in the A/UX 2.0.1 Incremental Upgrade Kit and does not include the MacX 1.1 software, the Mac OS 6.0.7 disks, or the new versions of A/UX Startup and the Startup utilities. This archive ONLY contains updates to the A/UX 2.0 root filesystem. The Incremental Upgrade Kit also contains the A/UX 2.0.1 Release Notes and MacX User's Guide. If you need these items, please order the Incremental Upgrade Kit from your dealer. Shortly after (about a week later), I will make the same upgrade available in a different format (split, uuencoded, etc) so that it can be retreived in parts.

I was afraid that I'd be sitting here months from now waiting for the upgrade; instead, I've already got it installed and working great. Thanks very much for making this upgrade ftp-able! --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.

Oz is a long way off, and I may be able to offer a shadow site for the upgrade.

Just to counterbalance my assorted gripings in other messages:
THIS IS WONDERFUL NEWS!!!
Thanks to all of the people at Apple who had a hand in making this possible.
I was _most_ surprised and pleased to see this announcement.

The new versions of A/UX Startup and its associated utilities have changed to support the Macintosh IIsi. Anyone with a Macintosh IIfx (or earlier) will be able to use the 2.0.1 upgrade without updating A/UX Startup.

If you need >these items, please order the Incremental Upgrade Kit from your dealer. ------- ------- Just a note to tell those Usenet readers in Canada that do not have Internet (ftp) access to aux.support.apple.com. I have all of these files on mauxci.UUCP in Toronto. You can log in as uu_aux with aux201 as the password. The files are located in /usr/spool/uucppublic/2.0.1Upgrade.Kit. The file names are as Antonio posted them (see above). Assuming that you have UUCP set up on your A/UX machine you can add something similar to the following line to your L.sys file: mauxci Any tty0 19200 tty0 "" ATDT14165134271\r\d in:--in: uu_aux word: aux201 Adjust the baud rate to local norms. Then use the following command to copy a file to your machine: uucp mauxci!~/2.0.1Upgrade.Kit/README /usr/spool/uucppublic Repeat the command for each of the file names or use the "*" wildcard to get them all. I also have created dd(1) disk images for each of the Incremental Upgrade Disks. The idea is that people purchasing the Upgrade Kit will ocasionaly get a bad disk. Simply request the replacement disk from mauxci.UUCP. The files are in ~/Archives/2.0.1Update.Disks. The name of the disk that you need to replace will be 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.xxx where "xxx" is a disk number (1-12) or a name (Install, ReadMe, StartUtil, Startup). 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.Install 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.1 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.12 Finally, there is a *very* simple script in the ~/Archives/2.0.1Update.Disks directory called "Unload" that will recreate the diskette from its image file. -ped- -- _.
