GNU File Utilities for OS/2 and ext2 Partitions

If you're using Matthieu Willm's ext2-os2 file system driver for mounting Linux ext2 partitions under OS/2 then this build of the GNU File Utilities may be for you.

History

Build 0.1, February 1996: Implemented replacements routines for stat(), fstat(), getuser(), and getgroup(). Removed the --unix switch from ls such that ls -l always displays in Un*x format. The result is ls, dir, and vdir commands that properly display file permission masks and group and user ID's on ext2 partitions. All the other utilities are also provided for compatibility with a common gnufu.dll.
Build 0.2, January 1997: The --unix switch was retained this time around for compatibility, but it doesn't do anything since this is the default mode. An --os2 switch was added to display hidden, system, and archive attributes on FAT and HPFS partitions as is the default in the standard OS/2 implementation, but the main reason for this build was to take advantage of the many new features that have been added to the standard GNU File Utilities such as color ls and International Language Support.

WARNING

Don't use these utilities with version 2.10 of ext-os2. This will crash your system. This warning might also apply to version 2.00, but I've not tried it and have no desire to do so.
