Is anyone maintaining the DJGPP ports of textutils and sh-utils? I seem to
remember someone (Prashant?) saying they didn't have time to maintain them
anymore.

I was thinking about trying to package up the latest release of textutils and
maybe sh-utils sometime (haha). It would make sense for one person to maintain
the DJGPP package of coreutils rather than each of the (fileutils, textutils,
sh-utils) maintainers. I guess I've just volunteered. 8)

Bye, Rich =]

PS: I can forward the full text of Jim's announcement, if anyone would like
it.
