- This is a package of small shell programming utilities. They are mostly
- compliant with POSIX.2, where applicable.
-
- See the file NEWS for a list of major changes in the current release.
-
- See the file INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions.
-
- nice, stty, and uname require facilities not available on all systems;
- `configure' detects this and does not try to compile them on systems
- where those facilities are missing.
- nohup requires nice.
- su will only be installed if you do `make install' as root.
-
- Although these programs have no `-V' or `--version' option, you can
- check which version you have by using the RCS `ident' command on the
- binaries, or by using `grep' and `strings -' on them, e.g.,
- `strings - /usr/local/bin/ls | grep shellutils'.

- Mail suggestions and bug reports for these programs to
