Release 4 of the port of fileutils 4.1 to DJGPP is now available. This release fixes two bugs: * 'mkdir' was crashing occasionally, due to uninitialised memory. * 'rm' now works properly, when built with DJGPP CVS. Previously it would crash with an assertion failure sometimes. NB: This did not affect the packages from Simtel.NET - this only affected DJGPP developers and people using the packages from Andrew Cottrell's testing page. I recommend you upgrade, to get a fixed version of 'mkdir'. 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/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/ ]
