If you requested but have not received a copy of (a) my program to read
Xenix disks under MSDOS or (b) my modification of GNU tar to do the
same [and compile under Borland's Turbo C], send me an ordinary postal
address.
I have responded to all requests PROPERLY mailed to me, but some addresses
have resulted in returned mail.
I will ship 5.25 inch floppies in Xenix tar format unless otherwise
specified. In other words, I will make the floppies with the following
commands:
format /dev/fd096ds9
tar 4cv .
I am testing my own pdtar (public domain tar) to read/write from/to
XENIX/MSDOS now. When this is stable, I will post an announcement to
this effect.
If you want to be really helpful, send me a gummed return address label
that I can slap on the envelope with YOUR disk in it.
