I guess I qualify as an 'archive site administrator' because I keep up the
one on NDSUVM1.BITNET.  Below is another copy of the article I posted on
May 30, 1988 describing how to obtain these diffs from listserv@ndsuvm1.bitnet.
Please hold on to it this time!

One additional note I'd like to make: the last I heard, this listserv
restricted requests to 256KB per day.  I requested that it be raised
but have not heard if it has been.  If it hasn't, you'll just have to
spread your requests out over several days.  This applys to EVERYTHING
on the listserv.

I have made all of the first set of 1.3 upgrade files available to users
on Bitnet in a form which is probably "cleaner" than that they will recieve
thru their (brain-dammaged 80 column punched-card) mailers.

All 10 parts are NOW available from LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 under the MINIX files
section with the names 'MINIX UP3-Axx' where xx is 1 thru 10.  The "A" stands
for the first distribution of 1.3 upgrades (there were 2 sets of "1.2"
upgrade files, and it wasa never clear to me exactly which of them were "it",
so I used both of them).

A "package" named "MINUP3 PACKAGE" should be available Real Soon Now (as soon
as I creat and PUT it) to aid those of you who wish to retrieve all of the
files in one GET.

For information about using this file server, send a file (mail or raw bitnet)
to LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 with the one-line text "GET MINIX ANNOUNCE MINIX" and it
will send you the Minix Information Sheet.  More assistance is available from
LISTSERV itself with the "HELP" command.  ***Please DO NOT send these requests
to MINIX-L@NDSUVM1*** that will have the embarassing effect of showing the
entire Minix world that you can't follow directions.

My appology for not being as slow getting this out as I usually am :-)
