Subject:	ANNOUNCE: Release 2 of Fileutils 4.0
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

Hello.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the release 2 of the DJGPP port of
Fileutils 4.0. This release is a minor bugfix release. Here are the
changes over release 1:

- readme.dos now describes the DOS-specific features added as part of
  the DJGPP port.

- 'ls' will no longer list hidden files unless the all files ('-a')
  option is also used.

- 'ls' will no longer display a spurious escape sequence when LS_COLORS
  is set to an invalid string.

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/fil40b.zip&name=fil40b.zip

http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/fil40d.zip&name=fil40d.zip

http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/fil40s.zip&name=fil40s.zip

Please read the file gnu/filutil4.0/djgpp/readme.dos in whichever
distribution you download. This contains important instructions on
installing and using Fileutils.

A lot of credit for this port must go to Eli Zaretskii, since he provided
me with patches that actually did much of the port for me, and also for
his advice. Thanks also to Jim Meyering, Tim Van Holder, Jason Green and
Laurynas Biveinis for their help. Thanks also to the djgpp-workers.

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.

Thanks, bye,
