textutils-2.1 is getting old. You're not the first to make the mistake of getting/using it.[*] I suggest that you use the coreutils, not the textutils. ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.0.90.tar.bz2 (coreutils is the union of fileutils, textutils, and sh-utils) The latest sources are available via CVS here: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/coreutils/ If you need to check things into your own repository, or otherwise change timestamps, then you should to get recent versions of tools like autoconf, automake, and bison. Jim [*] There is still at least one GNU web page http://www.gnu.org/directory/GNU/textutils.html that describes the textutils without mentioning that that package has been superseded by the coreutils. Unfortunately, I haven't yet found out how to update that page. _______________________________________________ Bug-textutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-textutils
