Message-Id: <200107241624.MAA22074@delorie.com> From: "Juan Manuel Guerrero" Organization: Darmstadt University of Technology To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 18:13:22 +0200 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Subject: ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of GNU Sed 3.02.80 uploaded Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is a port of GNU Sed 3.02.80 to MSDOS/DJGPP. This port is based on the alpha release of GNU Sed available as: The s/// command now understands the following escapes (in both halves): \a an "alert" (BEL) \f a form-feed \n a newline \r a carriage-return \t a horizontal tab \v a vertical tab \oNNN a character with the octal value NNN \dNNN a character with the decimal value NNN \xNN a character with the hexadecimal value NN This behavior is disabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Please read the news and changelog files to become familiar with the changes in this product. DJGPP specific changes. ======================= - Changes needed for NLS support with DJGPP. - Eli Zaretskii contributed a patch to open the input stream in binary mode on platforms, like DOS/WIN95, that distinguish between text and binary files. This will allow to process files that contain embedded ^Z and lone ^M characters. This patch has already been submitted by him to the sed maintainer, so this feature may become a standard feature in the next official sed release. Thanks to Eli Zaretskii for contributing this. - If you have no DJGPP port of Sed installed and you want to rebuild this package from sources, please read Eli Zaretskii's readme file called: README.ORIG located in the djgpp directory. This explicitely explains how to build the binary from the source package if no sed executable is installed. As usual, all djgpp specific files (config.bat, diffs, readme files, etc.) are located in the djgpp subdir. This package has been configured and compiled with NLS support, so you can expect the binary to talk in your mother tongue if supported. The README file explains how to set up the required variables in your djgpp.env to enable NLS. The port consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from simtel.net and mirrors as: Sed 3.02.80 binary, info and man format documentation: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/sed3028b.zip&name=sed3028b.zip Sed 3.02.80 dvi, html and ps format documentation: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/sed3028d.zip&name=sed3028d.zip Sed 3.02.80 source: http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/sed3028s.zip&name=sed3028s.zip Send Sed specific bug reports to .
