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.
