My port of GNU find (ver. 2.0) and xargs is complete. These versions, as well being a bit faster and more versatile, also support the "NULL terminated pathname" convention, using -print0 (for find) and -0 (for xargs) so that they deal with filenames with an embedded NL (newline) character correctly (as distributed, find prints out pathnames terminated with a NL and xargs uses NL as it's string terminator). In special situations and circumstances, this can create some major problems if output is piped from find to xargs. Anyway, a tarred and compressed version is available on jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov (128.183.44.1) via anon-ftp. It's called GNUfind.tar.Z. As with ALL compressed files, be sure that you change mode to IMAGE/BINARY before downloading!
