They are putting together all the P-H MINIX stuff (for which they have written permission from P-H), as well as useful things from the net and offering it as a package to people who can buy it if they want it. It was not clear to me that these groups were doing this with the full knowlege and consent of P-H, that is now clear, thanks for clearing that up. It would be nice if they would contribute something back to greater metropolitan usenet, but I guess they don't really have to (after all people will continue to post here regardless). --Ed Edward Vielmetti, U of Michigan math dept
