I have completed the first phase of checking in some GNU tools. I announced this on the CVS mailing list last night and warned people that it was coming so as not to overwhelm their mailboxes. Basically, I checked in coreutils, diff, grep, less, and shar. coreutils is what used to be fileutils, shutils and textutils. So these checkins will corrospond to ... oh, a couple of dozen new shell commands. There is more to be checked in - these are the packages that have been updated since Be made R5. For those that haven't, I will just make Jamfiles and check those in. Look for those in a few days. :-) Michael
