Info-minix has been a bit irregular here recently and I am missing part 3 of
the 1.5.5 posting. As far as I know kernel mods were never posted for 1.5.3
and only one set of command diffs were ever posted for ST 1.5.3 (I use an ST).
To save bandwidth and phone bills could some kind soul in the UK please offer
to send me any bits I am missing and I will respond "yes please".

Also, when extracting some shar archives I said sh <sharFile but thought I'd
leave it to see how long it took under under 1.5.0 (ST 1.1 performance was
unbelievably slow, I seem to remember 60K shar files taking 15-20 minutes to
extract). It took ~85 seconds for an 80K shar file, I'm typing this from
memory and I can't remember exact numbers but I think that unshar is now only
3 times faster than sh rather than about 50 times faster - what changed?.
