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: http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/djgpp/fileutils/4.1/djgpp/readme.dos http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/djgpp/fileutils/4.1/djgpp/changelog.dos 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. Regards, -- Richard Dawe [ http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/ ]
