Version 2.0 of the GNU file manipulation programs is now available for
anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu [18.71.0.38] in the file
pub/gnu/fileutils-2.0.tar.Z.

The programs in this package are:

cat chgrp chmod chown cmp cp cut dd dir du expand head install ln ls
mkdir mkfifo mv paste rm rmdir split tac tail touch unexpand vdir

dir and vdir are ls with different default output formats.
mkfifo is a POSIX invention that is like `mknod file p'.
tac prints files backwards.

Changes from release 1.4:
Added chown, chgrp, expand, unexpand, and split programs, new
options to du and cp, changes to allow compilation on minimal POSIX.1
systems, more bug fixes, and changes for POSIX.2.  Made source code
more modular.  Made configuration semi-automatic.
