- Hi all,
-
- this is a port of the GNU file-utils, release 3.4, made for MiNT.
- These programs were compiled using gcc 2.3.3 and the mintlibs pl 26;
- the -mbaserel flag was used, so these programs will be sharable under MiNT.
-
- Two programs, `mknod' and `mkfifo', were left out, since they make no sense
- on an Atari ST. One program, `df', needed changes in a library file and
- in a support function; these files, and the Makefiles I used, are placed
- in the `src' subdirectory. I did not make all the changes myself; I took
- some routines from an earlier port of the file-utils by someone else.
- I can't recall your name, but thanks!
- The full sources are at prep.ai.mit.edu.
-
- All binaries are in the `bin' subdirectory; all man pages are in the
- `man' subdirectory (where else?).
-
- One noteworthy change since the previous version: the `df' program
- will show the pipe, shared-memory and proc filesystems if you run
- MiNT 0.99 or later. The shared-memory and proc filesystems always
- give identical results; this is because MiNT's Dfree() call for both
- these filesystems reflects system memory, not shared-memory or programs.
