# readme. - GNUish MS-DOS cpio -*-Text-*-
# Copyright (C) 1990 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
# Copyright (C) 1990 by Thorsten Ohl, ohl@gnu.ai.mit.edu
This is GNU cpio version 1.1 for MS-DOS.
SOURCE CODE
The makefile assumes that you have a copy of the gnulib, which
contains ports of several general purpose (regular expressions,
directory access, filename globbing, etc.) GNU functions for MS-DOS.
You can get it from the same place where you picled up this archive.
GNU cpio is known to compile with Microsoft C Version 5.1 or 6.0.
Reports of successful compilation by other compilers (and the
eventually necessary context diffs) are very much appreciated.
EXECUTABLE CODE
For convenience, ready-to-execute binaries are also provided for those
who do not have the necessary compilers, or do not feel like using
them. User documentation is usually not provided, at least for now,
beyond the documentation provided in the official GNU distribution.
Below is a short excuse for a manpage.
