Here is a synopsis of my new uploads, as of Sun Jul  5 09:11:30 1992

Bug reports and comments to: fa...@cs.unc.edu

*bin.tar.Z: linked static with gcc 2.2.2 (release version) under 0.96b.pl2
            contain README.linux, README, COPYING, and other information
            contain *MAN PAGES* (even for diff!)
            may contain info files (bison and gawk)
            ready to 'tar zpxvf' into /usr
            NOTE: You will need 0.96b.pl2 OR ABOVE to run these reliably!

*src.tar.Z: source, modified for Linux.  Because of people's suggestions
            regarding my previous uploads, I've made sure that instructions
            for compiling are present in the README.linux file.  In
            general, you do a ./configure and then a make.  I use GNU make
            for everything.  I have /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash (don't use
            ash--it won't work).  Some utilities require other utilities to
            build (like gawk needs bison to build, and bison uses gawk to
            install :-).  The appropriate utilities were compiled with
            -DST_BLOCKS_MISSING, so they will run under 0.96b.pl2.  I'll
            make new versions that use the 0.96c st_blocks support in a
            week or so.

README.linux: These files, contained in both the binary and source tar.Z
              files, contain instructions, comments, locations of current
              and original source, and complete cdiffs against the original
              sources.

The binaries are available from:
banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/Incoming (now) and tsx-11.mit.edu (later)

The sources are available from:
banjo.concert.net:/pub/Linux/ABC-Release/src/usr.bin (now)
and tsx-11.mit.edu (later)

Everything is available right now from ftp.cs.unc.edu:/pub/faith/uploads,
but these will be there for a limited time only.  Note that there are also
*sbin.tar.Z files in this directory.  They are identical to the *bin.tar.Z
files, but were linked *dynamic*.  THESE ARE EXPEIMENTAL AND WILL *NOT* BE
SUPPORTED.  They require the gcc 2.2.2 shared libraries, and won't work
with anything else!


utila-1.0bin.tar.Z
utila-1.0src.tar.Z

    This is a random collection of NET-2 source code, including: banner,
    cal, col, colcrt, colrm, column, false, hexdump, od, strings (the
    version that was on tsx-11 has a bug), true, ul, uuencode, uudecode,
    and whereis.  uuencode/uudecode have not been extensively tested, so
    please don't rely on them until you have more confidence in them.
    Please send me bug reports!  NOTE: *STRINGS* AND *OD* ARE HERE!


bison-1.18Bbin.tar.Z
bison-1.18Bsrc.tar.Z

    This is the latest GNU Bison (a yacc replacement).  Has info files.


diff-1.15Bbin.tar.Z
diff-1.15Bsrc.tar.Z

    This is the latest GNU Diff and Diff3.  I hacked together some man
    pages from the 4.3bsd-reno (NET-2?) distribution and the FSF README
    file.  The man pages aren't pretty, but they seem to have all the
    information.


fileutl-3.2Bbin.tar.Z
fileutl-3.2Bsrc.tar.Z

    This is the latest GNU FileUtilities release.  This file contains the
    following utilities: chgrp, chown, chmod, cp, d, dd, df, dir, du,
    install, ln, ls, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, rm, rmdir, touch, v, and
    vdir.  stty is still missing, BUT DF IS HERE!


find-3.6Bbin.tar.Z
find-3.6Bsrc.tar.Z

    This is the latest GNU Find, including find, locate, and xargs.  The
    support for locate (updatedb) is also included (with a patch to fix the
    behavior of tail).


gawk-2.13.2Bbin.tar.Z
gawk-2.13.2Bsrc.tar.Z

    This is the latest GNU Gawk (an awk replacement).  Because of a bug in
    the gcc 2.2.2 libraries, extra 0's are sometimes printed (i.e., 400.00
    is printed at 400.0000).  This should be corrected in a future release.
    Info files are included.


groff-1.05Bbin.tar.Z
groff-1.05Bsrc.tar.Z

    This is the latest GNU groff (a nroff replacement).  This file contains
    the following utilities: addftinfo, afmtodit, geqn, gindxbib, glookbib,
    gpic, grefer, grodvi, groff, grog, grops, grotty, gsoelim, gtbl,
    gtroff, lkbib, pfbtops, psbb, tfmtodit.  The following macro packages
    are included: man, mandoc, mdoc, ms, me, mm, mmse, mps, mpspic, mpsatk,
    mtty, mdvi, and mpic.  Drivers for ascii, postscript, and dvi are
    included.  [For groff-1.05Bbin.tar.Z, the *old* mdoc macros were
    deleted so that the tar file would be able to fit on a HD floppy disk.]

shutl-1.6Bbin.tar.Z
shutl-1.6Bsrc.tar.Z

    This is the latest GNU ShellUtilities release.  This file contains the
    following utilities: [, basename, date, dirname, env, expr, groups, id,
    logname, nice, nohup, pathchk, printenv, printf, sleep, tee, test, tty,
    uname, whoami, yes.

    following utilities: cat, cmp, comm, csplit, cut, expand, fold, head,
    join, nl, paste, pr, sort, split, sum, tac, tail, tr, unexpand, uniq,
    wc.
