- For starters: There is no Tin for plain Minix, just because Tin is
- way too large. When you have one of those Minix'es however that can
- accommodate large programmes (Minix-386 or non-Intel Minix) then the
- normal straight forward Tin will do, available from the normal Tin
- archives, which I don't happen to remember just now. Drop me a line if
- you want those names.
-
- But Lo and Behold: For plain (read small) Minix, there is a Tin-like
- threaded news-reader, named Tass. Actually Tin is a Tass-like newsreader.
- I ported it two years ago to the then actual version of Minix (1.4 or
- starting 1.5). I have been using it for roughly one year on my XT, until
- the time that I got a 386 and switched to Linux and full Tin.
-
- I still retain a copy of Tass for those eager enough to give it a try.
- Drop me a line if you want a copy. I sufficient people give word I'll
- post it again. OTOH, I guess it's also available from the good ol'
- Minix archives as Plains.nodak.edu and Bugs.nocs.mil?
