	There was a package sent out for "referee testing" for symbolic links
under Minix.  Whether or not it was ever released to the net, I don't know.
IMHO, when someone submits something to the referees for testing, if they do
not receive some acknowledgement within a reasonable period of time, they should
just release it to the net (with perhaps a caveat....:-) )
