Agreed. I have sources for patch & patches 1 thru 7, but have had
endless trouble building the thing (expr is broken, etc etc etc) and
honestly I have lots of real, day-job work to do.  Could someone out
there who has a working ST/Minix 1.1 patch get in touch with me ?  I
am hurting for this, as I want to get the serial i/o stuff running,
and I WILL NOT hand patch in the cdiffs.  Far to likely to screw up
:-) and I am not in the mood to do the work I paid good money to have
done for me (I refer to the hardware purchase price) - I'd far rather
trust patch.

Responses of the form 'call the {bitnet,uucp,arpanet} archiver at
mumble.foo.edu' will be appreciated but ignored.  You have no idea how
weak our connectivity is :-).  I want mail from a real person.  I will
gladly cover expenses up to, say, $10.

or if you get _desperate_ to help out a perfect stranger :-)
