+MINIX is a UNIX-like operating system for the IBM PC, XT, AT, 386,
+and PS/2, as well as the Apple Macintosh, Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, and
+later in 1991, Sun SPARC.  It is available with all the source code for
+the entire operating system, the libraries, and nearly 200 UNIX-like
+utilities.
+
+Demonstration disks for the IBM PC line and Atari ST are available for free 
+via anonymous FTP for people on the Internet.  A Macintosh version will be
+online soon.  (If you can't wait, see below.)
+
+To get a free demo disk and the manual, use ftp to connect to
+ftp.cs.vu.nl (192.31.231.42) and look in pub/minix/demo.  The READ_ME
+file describes the contents of the directory and how to use it.  Be sure to
+fetch and read this first.  It contains important information.
+
+If you don't have FTP access, you can buy the demo disk package from Prentice-
+Hall for $10 by calling (201) 767-5969 or FAX (201) 767-5625.  Please DON'T
+ask me to send it by email.  I have quite enough work already thank you.
+The ordering numbers for Prentice-Hall are:
+
+  - MINIX 1.5 IBM demo disk         (0-13-582768-x)  (in stock now)
+  - MINIX 1.5 Atari demo disk       (0-13-582792-2)  (in stock now)
+  - MINIX 1.5 Macintosh demo disk   (0-13-582784-1)  (in stock now)
+
+Please note that although the demo disks are available for free on line,
+MINIX itself is copyrighted software and is not available on line.  The
+demo disks are also copyrighted, but permission is hereby granted to 
+upload and use them for evaluation purposes. The READ_ME file tells how 
+MINIX can be ordered.
+
+AS A COURTESY TO US, PLEASE DO NOT FTP DURING BUSINESS HOURS (EUROPEAN
+TIME).  PLEASE FTP AFTER 11 A.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME.
+
+If you want to follow the MINIX discussion, read the comp.os.minix
+newsgroup, which is quite active and has almost 50,000 subscribers.
+
+Have fun!
