I'm posting this instead of mailing to Dermot because there still seem
to be a lot of people who think you have to be on the internet to get at
the archives.  Attached are instructions for accessing Vince Browman's
MINIX archives on bugs.nosc.mil via uucp mail.  The last time I looked,
the file SUBJECTS contained a listing of the archive contents, so get
that first and then figure out what you need.

Have fun!
