For you SGI fans...

[Ian Finder]

Alright- I'm not gonna get into this- people on listservs will always get
what they want to out of a message- usually the worst.

I am gonna look for my 6.2 CDs for the guy who has a Crimson, but I fear
they're 2000 miles away in Chicago-- sitting on top of my Crimson. :(
I'll look around for older versions like 4 and 3 as well... I know they're
somewhere in my RAID

I /DID/ find 6.5.22 and imaged it.

I've *temporarily *placed the 6.5.22 overlay media on my server- someone
should upload it to archive.org. I will do it at some point later, when I'm
not on a cell phone... If I remember.

Note: *This release is an overlay and still requires the 6.5.0 foundation
set on Archive.org*- thus my comment that it was a good start!
No invalidation of what others have done- in fact it is necessary to build
on! (Thank you, Jason!)

You need this version to run any of the excellent freeware packages in
nekoware:
