Release 2 of the port of fileutils 4.1 to DJGPP is now available. You can get it here: The only change in this release is: 'ln -s' behaves like it did in earlier versions of the port. 'ln -s' will create an executable which will invoke the target of the symlink. If the target is not an executable, this is not very useful. Thanks to Jason Hood for pointing out this bug. 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: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/fil41b.zip&name=fil41b.zip http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/fil41d.zip&name=fil41d.zip http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/fil41s.zip&name=fil41s.zip 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/readme.dos http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/djgpp/fileutils/4.1/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/ ]
