Subject:	ANNOUNCE: Update of DJGPP port of GNU sed 3.02.80 uploaded
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

This is an update of port of GNU Sed 3.02.80 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

  This port is based on the alpha release of GNU Sed available as:
    ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-3.02.80.tar.gz


  This update fixes a bug in the code that removes CR when followed by LF.
  The previous code always failed if the CR character was the last character
  in the buffer.
  It also fixes a bug that was the reason for the slow performance of
  this sed port. Now sed 3.02.80 should be as fast as sed 3.02.
  Thnks to Andris Pavenis for reporting this an to Eli Zaretskii for
  contributing the fixes. For more info about this, please inspect the
  diffs file.

  The binary package contains two different Sed programs. One called sed.exe
  (size: 667KB) that offers NLS (native language support) and a second called
  nnsed.exe (no NLS sed; size: 58KB) without NLS. The later is intended for
  people who don't need NLS but would like to minimize disk space, or be able
  to take Sed on a floppy as a part of a minimal set of tools. Both binaries
  have been completely stripped (symbol table, debug info and stub removed) and
  have been compressed using upx.


  The port consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from
  simtel.net and mirrors as (timestamp: 2001-07-28):

  Send Sed specific bug reports to <bug-gnu-utils AT gnu DOT org>.
  Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port
  to comp.os.msdos.djgpp or <djgpp AT delorie DOT com> and cc them to me.

Enjoy.
