Hello.
I'd like to announce beta 1 of the port of Fileutils 4.0 to DJGPP.
Fileutils is a collection of programs like cp, mv, rm, ls for basic file
manipulation. The beta is available here:
http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/djgpp/fileutils/
If you just want to use the programs, get the binary distribution -
fil40b-beta1.zip. If you want to rebuild from sources, get the source
distribution - fil40s-beta1.zip. If you want documentation in formats like
DVI, TeX, PostScript, HTML, get the documentation distribution -
fil40d-beta.zip.
For those who tried the previous alpha (alpha 2) of the port, the
following has changed:
* 'install' (aka 'ginstall') now handles stubbed COFF executable files
or MZ-format (MS-DOS) executable files by appending '.exe' to the
target name.
* It should build with short filenames (i.e. pure DOS environment).
I would appreciate it if people with plain ol' DOS machines could test the
short filename support, since I don't have access to one.
If you have any problems, comments, suggestions regarding the port, please
feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks, bye,
