I re-built FileUtils 4.0 with CVS last night and tried the rm -rf
<directory> which failed win 4.1 and it worked okay.

What do people think I should put on clio with regards to the file utilities
built with the CVS LIBC? Some example I can think of are:-
    a) Put File Utils 4.0 up there
    b) Put File Utils 4.1 with rm.exe from File Utils 4.0
    c) Put File Utils 4.1 with rm.exe from Core Utils
    d) None - get people to use the File Utils 4.1 from simtel - this is
what happens with the latest update

I can easily do any of the options outlined above, but does anyone have any
other ideas?

Andrew
