Dirty maybe, but certainly not quick  :-)

><1) get the demo file onto your hard disk from ftp.cs.vu.nl [192.31.231.42]
><   pub/minix/demo  (This site is in Europe so ftp after 11 AM EST)

Good info so far, but there is a better way to put the file on a
floppy.  Get rawrite.exe and rawrite.doc at the same time you get the
demo file itself.  They are all in the same directory.  RTDF (Read The
Document File).  Much quicker than the method suggested in the deleted
material.
