*****NOTE*****
This text file has been edited by Denesh Bhabuta
(pddanny@micros.hensa.ac.uk. Text which had no relevance to the Atari
demo of Minix, was deleted. The rest of the text is exactly the same.
This directory contains MINIX demonstration disk for the ATARI ST.
demo_dsk.st (Atari ST)
Then copy it bit for bit to a floppy disk. These files are exact disk
images. They are not files readable by any operating system. They are
bootable disks. For the Atari, you must use a 360K diskette.
To transfer the demo disk to a floppy, you need a program that can
write a raw disk image. For the Atari, use file2dsk instead of rawrite
(see file2dsk.doc).
The demo user manual is available in PostScript form as manual.ps or as
flat ASCII text as manual.txt. If you can print PostScript, use the
former; if not, use the latter. The manual.txt file can be printed on
any printer that can handle ASCII text (including Form Feed).
The announcement file tells more about MINIX, describes the MINIX
newsgroup, comp.os.minix, and the MINIX archives. It is a flat ASCII
file.
Once more, to avoid any confusion, MINIX is not public domain or
shareware. It is copyrighted software. All the files in this
directory, including the demo disks are also fully protected by
copyright. The copyright owners hereby grant permission to copy and
use the MINIX demo disks and other files in this directory only for
the purpose of evaluating MINIX to see if it is suitable for your
needs.

a discount of $60, but only if you order by mail and include the label from
the original PH boot disk (or the entire disk) with your letter. Not valid
for email, phone or FAX orders since you must enclose the original boot disk
label (not a photocopy). Mail orders can be by credit card or check for
$169. You will be billed for tax and shipping.
