GNU find 2.1 is now available by anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu
[18.71.0.38] in the file pub/gnu/find-2.1.tar.Z.

This release fixes several bugs, including:

* -fstype works with the amd automounter.

* -exec and -ok substitute {} anywhere within their arguments,
  arbitrarily many times.

* xargs -p works.

Other changes:

* The directory argument to find defaults to `.'.

* xargs has an option to make it not run the command if there is no input.

* The package compiles on minimal POSIX.1 systems.
