The DJGPP port of Sh-utils 2.0i is available on v2gnu/beta on Simtel.
Please note that this is only a beta release. ONLY people who are
interested in TESTING this package should download it. Others SHOULD NOT
use this as it is likely to contain bugs in them.

The GNU Sh-utils (Shell Utilities) package contains many programs such
as test, expr, pwd, date, basename, dirname, etc. which are frequently
used in shell scripts.

New programs have been added since the previous port 1.12. These include
factor, pinky, seq, stty, users, who. Also, false and true which were
earlier scripts are now EXEs.

I request interested people to test this port and see if any there are
any bugs in them since there have been many changes compared to the
earlier port.

Some of the things that need testing are:

1> Configuring from different drives and rebuliding with and without LFN
   support.
2> `make check', `make install'.
3> See if `stty' causes any problems such as hangs, reboots.

The file djgpp/readme mentions how to go about building the package.

Please direct any bugs, suggestions, comments to c.o.m.d. or write to the
E-Mail gateway djgpp AT delorie DOT com.

Thanks in advance.

Prashant
