The (trivial) patches for the ST source are in file fileutils-1.4-diffs. The binaries can be found in pub/atari/bin. For differences to the old version see also the announcement by David J. MacKenzie on gnu.announce. The atari version differs in the following aspects: - mkfifo is not supported (it says so when it is compiled) - if you ask ln to make a hardlink it really copies the file - mv of directories is supported only on TOS >= 1.4 - chmod is not fully implemented (we have no user-specific restrictions in our OS) - touch can of course not change three separate times (only the modification time) Try it and like it! - Edgar -- Mail: Edgar R\"oder E-Mail: roeder@cs.uni-sb.de Liesbet-Dill-Stra\ss e 3 D-6602 Dudweiler -o- -o- W-Germany ^ Phone: 06897/74643 '---'
