 This is release 3 of the port of GNU Findutils 4.2.33 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

 DJGPP specific changes.
 =======================

 This is a bug fix release.  Two issues have been solved here:
 - the signal catcher function assigned to SIGINT has been modified in such a
   way that find will try to return to its starting directory when it is
   interrupted with cntl-c.  This returning is not always possible.
 - find will no longer fail with an error message like this:
     Invalid argument (EINVAL)
   if it finds a 510 byte long file.  This is not a bug in the find port but in
   the readdir() code.  This issue has been fixed in the CVS version of readdir
   and thus in the version used in the new version of libsupp too.  This means
   that you must download the package:
     ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/lsupp51a.zip
   to be able to configure and compile the sources.  Of course, if you are not
   interested in compiling the sources you do not need to download and install
   lsupp51a.zip at all.

 For futher information about GNU Findutils please read the info docs and the
 NEWS file.



 Compiling the sources.
 ======================

 As usual the sources are configured for stock djdev203.
 - If you compile the sources with djdev203, you must proceed as usual running
   the following commands from the top srcdir, this is findutils-4.2.33:
     make
     make install
   The testsuite does not work because GNU dejagnu is not available.

 - If you compile the sources with djdev204 it will be essential to reconfigure
   sources because the distributed one have been configured for djdev203.  For
   this purpose you *must* delete ./djgpp/config.cache and ./config_h.org.
   or the build process will fail.

 In conclusion, to rebuild the findutils binaries with djdev204 run the
 following commands from the top srcdir (findutils-4.2.33):
   rm djgpp/config.cache
   rm config_h.org
   make clean
   djgpp/config.bat
   make
   make install



 The port consists of the usual three packages produced using stock djdev203
 that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2008-06-17):
