Hi all,
From reading all the post about the Gnu File Utilities over the
last week, it seems that many of us have had the same problem:
Where do we find a copy of the Gnu file Utilities (Sed, Touch,...)
This sounds like a fine candidate for inclusion in the djgpp.faq.
Perhaps the following could be included:
==========================================================
Q: Where can I find a copy of the file utilities (Touch, Sed
rm, ls...), which are required to recompile GCC or other
Unix-type Programs?
A: These are available in two djgpp ports, one by Tuan Duang (I
think) at Academia Sinica, and the other by Eric Backus, which is
available at ftp://ftp.math.niu.edu/pub/djgpp.stuff/packages, or some
similar path at that machine. You need a ZOO archive extracter, also
available there. Some of Eric's ports have some problems with io
redirections (cat in particular does, I don't know about any others).
There are also the GNUish ports, available at Simtel mirrors in
..../msdos/gnuish and at garbo.uwasa.fi, I forget exactly where. Garbo
is the primary upload site for GNUish ports.
===========================================================

Does anyone have any comments on the above? Is there a better
compilation of these utilities around?
{DJ, would it possible to include a copy of the above utilities
with DJGPP?}
