[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] MS version of 'sed' is needed

yongjae@blake.acs.washington.edu (Yong Kim) (03/06/89)

Hello,  I would be happy if anyone outthere can help me either

(1) where I can get PD, working version of sed for my AT.
    I tried two versions in Simtel20 without much success.
(2) or e-mail the executables (with or without source) to me.

I am wondering if there has been any porting of GNU sed to MS-DOS.
I will e-mail to whoever has the same interest.  Thank you in
advance!

What does "without much success" mean?  Did you get a bad transfer?  Do
the programs have bugs?  Is the documentation insufficient?

I have used both versions from Simtel20 and they work for me.

I did some fixes to the version posted in comp.binaries some while back.
Mailing or posting (to group moderated in US) would blow my email budget, but
I can dig out the diffs if you're interested.
