A package of small shell programming utilities is available for anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38] in the file pub/gnu/shellutils-1.1.tar.Z. The programs in this package are: basename date dirname env expr groups id logname pathchk printenv printf sleep tee tty whoami yes nice nohup stty uname pathchk is a POSIX invention. nice, stty, and uname require facilities not available on all systems. nohup requires nice. Major changes from release 1.0 are: Various bugs and configuration problems fixed. stty now has "raw" and "cooked" modes and wraps its output, and "sane" doesn't affect parity or XON/XOFF settings and always sets the control characters. printenv doesn't print the variable names when given arguments. pathchk works reliably. date has an option to set the time in most common formats. The binaries now have the version number compiled in.
