I bought the Minix system for the Atari ST here in Sweden about two months
ago.  One of the floppies (the one with the sources to the kernel) was
defective, and I went back to the store to get a new one.  Unfortunately
the copy I bought was the last one, so the store had to get a new one from
Prentice-Hall in the USA.  Now, TWO MONTHS LATER, the reply comes: You
have to return the whole package before we can send you a new one.
Neither do I want to part with the manual (and the rest of the floppies)
nor to wait another two months to get it back with a (hopefully) complete
system.  I AM NOT writing this in order to discredit Prentice-Hall, all I
am interested in is getting the missing files without a lot of trouble.

So I wonder: Is there any kind soul that could mail me the content of
floppy 06.SRC1?

A problem is that I can't prove through email that I bought Minix in any
better way than to mail, say, the first 50 lines or so of a few of the
files on the other source floppy, but I hope that will do.
