You left no email address in your distribution of MIN2DOS. It almost works.
INT 25h apparently does not cross track boundaries the same way MINIX does,
so your programs never find the root directory correctly. I have modified
your 'absread' function so that it uses INT 13h -- INT 13h will read one
sector at a time, thus avoiding the boundary problem.

If you receive this, please respond. If you do not respond by Friday, October
5, 1990 I will assume you are not ever going to enforce the copyright in your
source files. The copyright gives no conditions, and I will assume there are
none. When I have completed fixing the files, I will post the collection sans
copyright (if you do not respond). I will properly attribute the basis of the
collection to you, but nothing more.

I consider this posting to be a valid Public Notice since the collection of
files were sent using electronic means world-wide, and I am using the same
means to contact Steven W. Harrold.
