Release 5 of the port of fileutils 4.1 to DJGPP is now available. This release fixes a few bugs: * 'mv' would occasionally crash. (This happened to me when running the test suite. No-one has reported this problem to me.) 'rm' may also be affected. * It works better with DJGPP CVS (what will become DJGPP 2.04). A problem with 'ls' and symlinks was fixed. /dev/zero and /dev/full are now available (when built against DJGPP CVS). I recommend that people using the binary package upgrade, to get a fixed version of 'mv' (and 'rm'). To use the Fileutils programs, you only need to download the binary distribution. You may also want to download the documentation distribution, to get the documentation in HTML, PostScript and DVI formats. If you want to examine or rebuild the Fileutils sources, you need to download the source distribution. The Fileutils port is available here: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/fil41b.zip&name=fil41b.zip http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/fil41d.zip&name=fil41d.zip http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/fil41s.zip&name=fil41s.zip Please read the file gnu/filutil4.1/djgpp/readme.dos in whichever distribution you download. This contains important instructions on installing and using Fileutils. You can also read the readme and changelog files online: http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/djgpp/fileutils/4.1/djgpp/readme.dos http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/djgpp/fileutils/4.1/djgpp/changelog.dos If you encounter any problems with this port, please feel free to contact me by e-mail (address below). I also try to read the DJGPP newsgroup, comp.os.msdos.djgpp, on a regular basis. Regards, -- Richard Dawe [ http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/ ]
