Subject:	ANNOUNCE: Release 4 of DJGPP port of fileutils 4.1
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

Hello.

fileutils is a set of file management programs like cp, mv, rm, mkdir. Release
4 of the port of fileutils 4.1 to DJGPP is now available.

This release fixes two bugs:

* 'mkdir' was crashing occasionally, due to uninitialised memory.

* 'rm' now works properly, when built with DJGPP CVS. Previously it would
crash with an assertion failure sometimes. NB: This did not affect the
packages from Simtel.NET - this only affected DJGPP developers and people
using the packages from Andrew Cottrell's testing page.

I recommend you upgrade, to get a fixed version of 'mkdir'.

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:

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.
