- Short: GNU fileutils, ported to the Amiga
-
- While working on emacs, I ported several Unix utilities to provide
- programs which are called by emacs (eg, ls is used by dired, rmdir is
- used by the delete-file command). I am now releasing these, along with
- the unix compatibility library which I wrote to assist porting these
- various utilities (and emacs).
-
- Ports of the following software (written or distributed as part of
- the GNU project) are available for download:
-
- - grep (version 1.6). The standard unix utility of the same name.
- - textutils (version 1.3). A dozen odd standard unix utilities
- for handling text, like sort, cat, head, etc.
- - fileutils (version 3.3). A set of standard unix utilities
- for managing files, like ls, rm, chmod, etc.
-
- The unix compatibility library, which is written for SAS C 5.10b,
- provides a more unix-like environment for programs compiled with it,
- along with a number of C functions which I needed to compile the
- above programs. These are either new or replacements for similar
- functions in the SAS C library (where these functions lacked
- some features or were buggy).
-
- All these packages are available on amiga.physik.unizh.ch (130.60.80.80),
- in the amiga/util/gnu directory
