Hello.

OK, I ran the following commands, as specified in the Makefile:

    make dvi
    make sh-utils.ps  (In the doc directory)
    makeinfo --html sh-utils.texi  (In the doc dorectory)

(I think you mean directory in "doc dorectory" on the last line.)

I hit a problem: doc/Makefile needs to enclose TEXINPUTS in double quotes,
otherwise the ';' will be evaluated as a command delimiter.

'make all' and 'make check' seem to work, although I haven't tested the
executables yet.

Thanks also for including a DSM. I think you need to have a 'requires' line
for bash, rather than a 'depends' line, since it won't build without bash,
since all the Makefiles reference it via 'SHELL = ...'. You may also want to:

* add a line in for the mailing lists / newsgroups for sh-utils -
bug-sh-utils AT gnu DOT org;

* add pre-install-readme and changelog lines, so users can read these, before
installing the package.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
