Re: [tbox-l] fileutils missing from Toolbox cd/Download site

[Philip K W. <pk...@us...>]

Charles:

The fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages were all rolled into one 
package called coreutils. It can be downloaded from here:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/coreutils/coreutils-5.0-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

Installing this package should satisfy the requirement for fileutils, but 
tcsh should probably be rebuilt at some point to include updated 
requirements. Here is a link to the original announcement of the coreutils 
package:
