- This archive contains an Installer.app package for GNU textutils-1.22.
-
- probably to be placed at:
- ftp://ftp.next.peak.org/pub/next/apps/utils/unix/
-
- From the README:
-
- These are the GNU text file (actually, file contents) processing
- utilities. Most of these programs have significant advantages over
- their Unix counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options,
- and fewer arbitrary limits.
-
- The programs that can be built with this package are: cat, cksum, comm,
- csplit, cut, expand, fmt, fold, head, join, md5sum, nl, od, paste, pr,
- sort, split, sum, tac, tail, tr, unexpand, uniq, and wc.
-
- The textutils are intended to be POSIX.2 compliant (with BSD and other
- extensions), like the rest of the GNU system. They are almost there,
- but a few incompatibilities remain.
-
- Note that the distributed man pages are no longer being updated.
- The authoritative documentation is in texinfo form in the doc directory.
