Subject: What happens if you run an old binary using the old stat() ???
Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1993 03:42:58 GMT

I just upgraded from 0.96 to 0.99 (it's about time!). Many of my old
binaries, of course, use the old stat() call, and I get a message
saying so every time I run them. What will this do to my system? I
don't suppose I should just ignore the messages (but I have been).

So far, I'm only using the original minix fs. Is this related? Will
I have problems using the old binaries if I start using other fs's.

Please advise. Thanks!
