There were mods to the shell posted around April that fix the out-of-string problem and clean up a few other things. I found it was needed to even start the 1.2 install. Check the archives. >As a 'by the way' would it be too much to ask that shar's distributted on the >nett actually be usable on MINIX systems (not all of us have access to a real >UNIX). A case in point was tthe new commands archive sent recently (fix, du >ettc.) which not only needed SED but wouldn't fit in the shell even when I >edited all SED's to appropriate GRES commands. Hear hear! It is much easier to unshar on Minix then to move all those files individually after unsharing on a Unix machine. (dosdir doesn't produce a list useful for a shell list, what with the headers and all. Unlike most of Andy's work, dosdir is quite different from the V7 version :-}) Anyway, I wrote little scripts for sed and chmod to simulate the commands in the shar file, so the shar file wouldn't have to be edited.
