Quoting lots of folks...

Most of the software people are asking for is available from
Plains.nodak.edu, available for anonymous FTP.  Floating Point support is
available in fp.tar.Z in the oz subdirectory.  The ST01/02 driver is called
'/pub/Minix/pc/mdoell-st01-2'.  I recommend that everyone who is looking for
software get the file 'ls-RCT' from /pub on Plains, so that you know exactly
what is there.  Remember, if FTP access is not available, you can have Plains
Mail it to you.  It's all covered in the 'Introduction' document you got when
you first subscribed. 

As an aside (and since I'm too lazy to write to Glen direct) it may be time to 
send out the 'Welcome to Minix' sheet with the mailserver instructions in it 
again.  The fall semesters are starting again, and all of the new people are 
asking the same new questions; just like last summer.

Also, I am interested in talking to a professor or two about a Master's
program.  I am posting this here because I don't have access to any good
schools here (or in Honduras) and would like to do the bulk of my M.S. in
Computer Science in Minix.  The details are unimportant (except to me and
prospective profs) but suffice it to say that I will have about 8 hours a day
for six straight months to work a Graduate Program.  Flexibility and 'free
thought' are required, so if you (or one of your free thinking instructors)
is interested, please E-Mail me.
