- I've just uploaded the latest version of my (and Dave Gymer's) BSD Unix-like
- init(8) package onto Atari.archive.umich.edu. The file you will find there
- (initsnb.zoo) is the source and binary distribution, I failed to upload the
- binary only distribution (initbin.zoo) because the tranfer kept failing with
- EDOTDOT errors, I will retry tomorrow.
-
- The changes from the original distribution include random salts for the
- password encryption, getty being able to change the speed of the serial
- ports (though this is dubious on the extra ports on the TT for some reason)
- and there are a few new programs including a fixed version of the Bourne
- Shell look-a-like, ash.

-
- PS. One other major improvement... init prints a copyright message with my
- name on it at boot time! :-)
