Hello.
fileutils is a set of file management programs like cp, mv, rm, mkdir. Release
7 of the port of fileutils 4.1 to DJGPP is now available.
This release fixes a problem with "rm" on Windows 2000 and XP. It may have
previously failed, complaining that the inode of a directory had changed. This
error was bogus. The check has been disabled for now, since the inode of
directory is imaginary on DOS and Windows.
If you are using fileutils 4.1, you should upgrade. Otherwise there is no
need.
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:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/fil41b.zip (binaries)
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/fil41d.zip (docs)
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/fil41s.zip (sources)
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.
