The file SMX174B1.TAZ is a compressed tar file that contains beta release 1 of the version of Solaris Minix (smx) that is based on Minix 1.7.4. It will only operate under Solaris 2 (Solaris 2.4 and 2.5 have been used without problems) and assumes that gcc is available. To install smx you should: 1. Copy SMX174B1.TAZ to a Sun running Solaris 2. On arrival, it should be 11129055 bytes long. 2. When you run sum on SMX174B1.TAZ, it should report: 55758 21737 SMX174B1.TAZ 3. Change the name from SMX174B1.TAZ to smx174b1.tar.Z 4. Uncompress smx174b1.tar.Z using the command line: uncompress smx174b1.tar.Z 5. Extract the file doc/smx_ps from the smx174b1.tar archive using the command line: tar xvf smx174b1.tar doc/smx_ps smx_ps is a postscript file that contains (amongst many other things) installation instructions for smx. To compile this program, you will need the GNU C compiler, gcc. This compiler is included here are GCC-272.TAZ Paul Ashton (paul@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz) 1996-08-15
