Good luck Ethan!  I DID go ahead and buy MacMinix here, cause the school knew
nothing about it.  Anyway, I've got an ST next to my mac, and I wanted to get
the network protocols going between the two.

Needless to say, (Even though I HAD plopped my money down) nobody cared to give
me a copy.  It has since become academic, but the only way to get a copy is to
find someone with Amigaminix, and post to them directly.

Tanenbaum has said that the liscense for a single owner of Minix allows him to
make two backups.  He can legally give you one of these backups.  However, the
net looks on this as stealing, so it may not be worth the effort.
