Version 1.4 of the GNU file manipulation programs is now available for
anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38] in the file
pub/gnu/fileutils-1.4.tar.Z.

The programs in this package are:

cat chmod cmp cp cut dd dir du head install ln ls mkdir mkfifo mv
paste rm rmdir tac tail touch vdir

dir and vdir are ls with different default output formats.
mkfifo is a POSIX invention that is like `mknod file p'.
tac prints files backwards.

Changes from release 1.3: Added simple roff -man documentation, cut,
paste, and touch programs, changes to accomodate a new draft of
POSIX.2 including removal of the create program, more bug fixes, and
some new options.

them to the gnUSENET newsgroup gnu.utils.bug, as this often results in
bad addresses, which we can not reply to.
