As I mentioned in my previous plea for assistance:

> I am currently setting up minix 1.5.0, and have run into a few small
> problems: fsck catagorically refuses to create a file system containing
> "..". This may in fact be a reflection of a problem in another  section
> of the tools, but the end result is that 1.5.0 cannot create a file 
> system, doesn't recognize 1.3 file systems and hence doesn't boot.

> Could someone please send me diffs for an upgrade from 1.3 (as distributed
> by Prentice Hall) to 1.5.0. for the tools.

Unfortunately I just realised that the return address had a slight problem
in it relating to a missing ".au" so anyone sending mail from overseas would 
have been bounced, if this happend you have my appologies and I appreciate 
the assistance, and could you please try again using the correct address.

Also, could anyone (and everyone) running an ftp accessable archive of minix
upgrades, news articles and other items of interest to this news group, in
AUSTRALIA please mail me their ftp address so that I may summerise the 
holdings to this group.

Thanks, in advance, for the assistance.
