Will anyone help me recover from this stupid and fatal mistake? I'll happily make arrangements to snarf it somehow (FTP, mail, direct UUCP), but would rather that someone in Toronto would take pity upon me and let me make a copy of her or his disk. I desperately need the C compiler, a few binaries (especially dos{read,write}) asld, and libc.a; Minix is quite difficult to use otherwise, alas, and I will avoid the task of typing in an a.out file in raw mode if at all possible. Millions of thanks to anyone who can help. ------ Sean Doran pp ICS TEST GROUP X.400: RFC-822: Bang!: {uunet,ucbcax,decuac,linus,gargoyle,utgpu}!att!attmail!mhs!envoy!ICS.TEST
