Thank you, thank you, thank you for the GNU utils. I use them all the
time instead of the standard utilities. We use DECstations running
Ultrix and Sequents - both really old versions of BSD. Having modern
utilities like the fileutils, textutils, and shellutils is a real
help.

I just installed the fileutils v3.3 on our Sequents running Dynix v3.1.4,
and ran into a small bug with the install program. Here's an example:

(itchy) = cd /tmp
(itchy) = cat > foo
asdfasdf
(itchy) = /local/bin/gnu/install foo bar
/local/bin/gnu/install: bar: Not owner

however, the file "bar" is created just fine.

This happens every time I run install as a normal user - it doesn't
matter if I own the directory I am installing into. Nor does it matter
if I explicitly try to set the owner to myself with the --owner flag.
Install returns the error code 1.

Root does not have this problem.

(this problem does not show up with install version 3.2 on a
DECstation running Ultrix 4.2)

Without looking at the code at all, I'd guess that there's some
problem intepreting user modes with some Sequent old structure or
function call. But I haven't looked at it.

(incidentally, this makes the entire install of the utilities rather
painful, because GNU install reports an error code and "make install"
uses GNU install. Oops)
