Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) Bear in mind that almost all of those are the 1989 version, or for the Mac and Amiga ports, based on the 1989 version. We should probably do another list in a few months, after the upcoming 1991 release has had a chance to propagate and get ported. By the way, I have never heard directly about any of those micro ports. All I know about them is what I see in the archive directories. If the people responsible were to send me some email, I'd be happy to list them in the various resource files I maintain (OTHER.SYSTEMS, the FAQ postings). Seems to me that this is only common courtesy, but perhaps things are different in the micro world. Finally, here are the results of extracting the file sizes for just the pbmplus.tar.Z files and doing sort | uniq -c | sort -nr: 23 278222 4 256572 3 537463 3 519819 2 526293 2 515031 2 250931 1 605455 1 518711 1 283768 1 278139 1 255964 1 248945 If you get a version from somewhere other than the two "official" sites (ftp.ee.lbl.gov and expo.lcs.mit.edu), and the file size isn't 278222 (the 22nov89 version), you should probably check carefully to see just what version you have. --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@well.sf.ca.us {apple, ucbvax, hplabs}!well!jef "You can make nearly anything stick to metal with the right primer." -- Joe Chew
