SUMMARY
-------
This is a self-contained port of the coreutils package.


INSTALLATION
------------
Execute the included autoinstall script.


NOTES
-----
There are commands that have been renamed to avoid name clashes:
 install -> ginstall

Some commands like su which make no sense in AmigaOS are not included.
If you really do need them please let us know.

The source code can be found on: https://github.com/adtools/coreutils


HISTORY
-------
54.11   - Trust the clib2 version of getcwd.
          This is for example fixing realpath.
54.10   - Use the clib2 versions of localtime/gettimeofday directly.
54.9    - the environment is now setup in clib2.
          Thank to jwegne for reporting the problem.
54.8    - no need to try to open /dev/tty.
        - changed the sourcecode, so it should now also be possible
          to compile for classic AmigaOS (using clib2).
54.7    - replace /dev/null with /nil.
        - recognice Amiga style absolute paths.
54.6    - ls is now also respecting amiga style absolute paths.
        - kill should now be able to kill a process.
54.5    - stat is now able to read the filesystem data.
        - use the clib2 fseeko implementation instead of the GNUlib version.
54.4    - Error() has now been fixed, will no longer crash,
          when you for example access a nonexisting file.
          Thanks to Hubert Maier (Raziel) for reporting this problem.
54.3    - cp did not copy permissions correctly.
          Hack it to set executable, just in case. This should be fixed later.
        - Revert cut to an older code, as fgetc() corrupted the stream with
          the newer codebase. Will look into this.
          Thanks to Hubert Maier (Raziel) for reporting this problem.
54.2    - We do not have proc filesystem. Replace with AmigaOS4 code.
          Handle paths correctly.
          Cleanup Configure.ac and Makefile.am, to disable the creation
          of documents (generated from the help files).
54.1    - New port based on the coreutils-8.29 codebase.
          Have used the 5.2.1-9 sourcecode for the sort and split commands.
5.2.1-9 - is now automaticly disabling wildcard pattern expansion when using sh

5.2.1-8 - disabled wildcard pattern expansion sa it gave some problems with
          some special characters. example: 'rm -f *~' would delete all the
          files in that directory

5.2.1-7 - compiled with SDK 51.22
        - updated to use clib2 1.200
        - removed chown() and setlocale() workarounds
        - updated makefile: dir->gdir and date->gdate
        - removed settime.o which was causing a warning and is not used
        - updated readme file

5.2.1-6 - found a problem with chown() which was causing ginstall to
          fail and possibly other quirks
        - now uses rpl_chown() instead

5.2.1-5 - found a problem with setlocale() so it has been stubbed out
          and always returns the "C" locale for now
        - makefile adjustments

5.2.1-4 - minor makefile changes
        - compiled with GCC 4.0.2 and clib2 1.199

5.2.1-3 - fixed version of clib2, alowing use of both
          Unix and absolute Amiga style paths

5.2.1-2 - compiled against a newer version of
          clib2 (cvs-20060126 + hnl_dk fixed symlink)
        - memoryproblems are fixed (clib2)
        - 'ln -s' is now able to make symbolic links
          (clib2 changes in symlink)
        - There are no changes in the sourcecode

5.2.1-1 - added AmigaOS-specific build system
        - fixed environ memory handling bug
        - now defaults to using C99
        - fixed broken ifdefs in getopt.c & getopt1.c
        - fixed compiler warnings
        - added optimization and binary stripping
        - install is renamed ginstall
        - env is renamed genv

5.2.1   - original coreutils diffs included with OS4 SDK
SDK     - envsubst is actually env and it is broken
        - many memory leaks
