MiNT 0.95 is now available for anonymous FTP from atari.archive.umich.edu.
The files are:

mint095b.zoo	-- executables for MiNT
mint095s.zoo	-- MiNT source code
mntman95.zoo	-- MiNT programmer's manual (nroff man pages)
mntutl95.zoo	-- various utilities for use with MiNT; these haven't
                   changed much since 0.93.

Along with the MiNT executables is provided a beta version of TOSWIN,
a really nifty (well, I think so :-)) new window manager that can work
as a .ACC. Unlike the old BGACC, this one supports arbitrary GDOS fonts
(including proportional fonts!), scrollback (like xterm), and allows
for dynamic resizing of windows.

Please read the "readme.1st" file that comes with MiNT. The MiNT installation
procedure has changed somewhat with every version. The basic idea is still
the same (put mint.prg in your AUTO folder), but there are now more options:
for example, mint.prg no longer has to be the last thing in the AUTO folder,
and if you hold down the right shift key while booting MiNT will ask you
if you want to start it.

There are also lots of new features in 0.95, including better terminal
support and a shared memory file system. See the "readme.new" file that
comes with MiNT for more details.
