OK, I'll upload it. I made already your Text/Fileutils together with
the gettext package for my own successful, so I think, there will be
no big problem, expect with gettext() (see below).

That's not correct. The 'dir' or 'ls' utils use the conio functions, which
result in a 'duplicate symbol' when linking, because the conio
gettext() function is not in a single file.
