Just a note to tell those Usenet readers in Canada that do not have Internet
(ftp) access to aux.support.apple.com. I have all of these files on mauxci.UUCP
in Toronto. You can log in as uu_aux with aux201 as the password.  The files
are located in /usr/spool/uucppublic/2.0.1Upgrade.Kit.  The file names are as
Antonio posted them (see above).  Assuming that you have UUCP set up on your
A/UX machine you can add something similar to the following line to your L.sys
file:

 mauxci Any tty0 19200 tty0 "" ATDT14165134271\r\d in:--in: uu_aux word: aux201

Adjust the baud rate to local norms. 

Then use the following command to copy a file to your machine:

        uucp mauxci!~/2.0.1Upgrade.Kit/README /usr/spool/uucppublic

Repeat the command for each of the file names or use the "*" wildcard to get
them all.

I also have created dd(1) disk images for each of the Incremental Upgrade
Disks.  The idea is that people purchasing the Upgrade Kit will ocasionaly
get a bad disk.  Simply request the replacement disk from mauxci.UUCP. The files
are in  ~/Archives/2.0.1Update.Disks.  The name of the disk that you need to
replace will be 201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.xxx where "xxx" is a disk number (1-12) or
a name (Install, ReadMe, StartUtil, Startup).

201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.Install
201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.1
201.AUXInc.Up.Dsk.12

Finally, there is a *very* simple script in the ~/Archives/2.0.1Update.Disks 
directory called "Unload" that will recreate the diskette from its image file.
