	You can get the floating point package for Minix-PC via anonymous
ftp to en.ecn.purdue.edu, 128.46.129.59. It needs to be updated slightly for
1.5.0, as soon as I find time.

	Kai-Uwe Bloem (I5110401@DBSTU1.BitNet) has ported the package to the 
Atari ST. This version should be readily portable to the Mac.

	I also have Robert Corbett's "Berkeley YACC" program running
under Minix, and can post the diffs after byacc gets posted to
one of the sources groups. (Or you can ask me for them; the original
source is avaiable via anon ftp from ucbarpa.Berkeley.EDU)

>And UUCP, but I don't know how to get a copy of it.

	Also in en.ecn.purdue.edu's anonymous ftp directory.
