The most recent version of amiga minix can be ftp-ed from ftp.cs.vu.nl,
[192.31.231.42], in the directory /pub/sreiz/minix:
-rw-r--r--  1 sreiz       62475 Jan 25 13:33 latest_aminix.lzh

As you can see it has been lharced, an lharc binary for the amiga can be 
found in /pub/sreiz/PD. I will generally update latest_aminix.lzh immediately
after we've compiled a new version.

Please note that:
- It's NOT the complete Amiga Minix distribution, and never will be because
  Amiga Minix is not public domain. The current file only contains the
  loader, minix, and the kernel image, minix.img, and some docs.
- It's not an official release. It may print some debugging output, because
  it's really meant for beta-testing. Use it at your own risk.
