Subject: In need of tape-drivers.
Keywords: TAPE-Drivers

Hello.

Maybe this is a FAQ, but I don't remember seeing this in the FAQ-sheet.
Is there any tape-drive-drivers for a sheap tape-drive?
I located a tape-driver for a SCSI-tape on plains, but I can't afford
a scsi-interface plus the tape-drive. Recently I have seen ads for
120 meg. non-scsi tape-drives, for around $300-400, which is about affordable.

In case such a driver doesn't exist, how hard is it to implement a
driver?

Subject: replying to remote mail
Keywords: uucp mail

I am posting this because I can't get my mailer (latest wmail) to
make correct replies to remote mail. The reply is always sent to
users locally, and not with the complete "remote" adress.

Is this a "setup-problem", or is remote-reply not suuported?
Any hints appreciated!

Subject: Curses needed!
Keywords:

Hello all!
Could some kind person who has succeeded building a curses library,
mail me a copy of the libcurses.a file? I don't know what's wrong
with my system, but every attempt to build the library gives a bad
libcurses.a file.

Thanx.

Subject: Home-directory for root?
Keywords:

Hello all Minix-users!

I wondered if there is anything wrong about giving root his/her
own home directory?
Any comments?
