  Or maybe something could be done to make the new binary qualify as a "patch" -
xor with the old binary or something like that. And the same for other binaries
that have changed (are there any? The crc's for the ST 1.1 binaries are:
45606 100243 cem
64475  67879 cg
05779  33414 cpp
52776  29847 ld.old
32936  33211 opt
ld is called ld.old because I use my own linker/loader)

  If the ST and Amiga assembler binaries are different then one of them should
be better than the other one (I suppose). So maybe some other people, apart from
upgraded Minix ST users, would be interested.
