- Yes, it has. In part, I've hoped that the FTP site maintainers would contact
- me when they set up or take down their site but that hasn't happened. The
- last update was done by, if I recall correctly, Warren Toomey and it was
- around the beginning of 1991.
-
- The person who updates the Minix Information Sheet is probably the person
- who posts it or the person listed therein as the person to send updates
- to. All of them happen to be me (at my school address, usually
- overby@plains.nodak.edu). Andy Tanenbaum is the one who origionally wrote
- the Info Sheet and frequently updates it himself (especially when there
- are major changes).
-
- Updating it isn't magic: someone has to do it. Anyone want to volunteer
- to take up the task?
-
- Don't forget that you can always ask Archie where things exist.
