dosread.c compiled okay once I figured out that it needed the -i switch
(separate I&D).  That was documented in the comment header at the beginning
of the file.  RTFM!

I also found /etc/termcap in the /etc directory of disk #1, right where
it belonged.

No need for that.

That offer is still open.  I've had a hard time retrieving archives from
listserv@vm1.nodak.edu.  Files always end up truncated.  Anyone else have
that problem?  Anyone know a solution?  Are there any other minix archive
sites accessible by UUCP?  I'll still be (almost-)eternally grateful if
some kind-hearted person would e-mail me the elle & patch sources.

Thank you...
