Hello.

I'd like to announce beta 2 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-beta2.zip. If you want to rebuild from sources, get the source
distribution - fil40s-beta2.zip. If you want documentation in formats like
DVI, TeX, PostScript, HTML, get the documentation distribution - 
fil40d-beta2.zip. 

Please read the readme.dos file on my web page before using the port.

The user-visible changes in this release over beta 2 are:

- Added djgpp/config.bat to automatically configure Fileutils to build
  for DJGPP.

- Fixed the build problem for the man pages.

- Fixed some problems with the test suite.

- Fileutils should now build in short filename environments, e.g. DOS.
  The test suite should also behave in the same way as for long filename
  environments (e.g. Windows '95, '98, ME).

This is a release candidate. If there are no reported problems with it, I
will do a final release in about a month.

If you have any problems, comments, suggestions regarding the port, please
feel free to e-mail me.

Thanks, bye,
