Version 1.3 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-1.3.tar.Z.

The programs in this package are:

cat chmod cmp cp create dd dir du head install ln ls mkdir mkfifo mv
rm rmdir tac tail vdir

dir and vdir are ls with different default output formats.
create and mkfifo are POSIX inventions.
tac prints files backwards.

Changes from release 1.2 are the addition of a program to print files
backwards and a program to install files, more bug fixes and POSIX and
ANSI C changes, support for 16 bit machines, and backup file creation
options for cp, ln, and mv.

Send bug reports to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu or gnUSENET
newsgroup gnu.utils.bug (but not both; they are the same thing).
