- Subject: cygutils: replace ascii with ESR's?
ESR maintains a standalone ascii(1) which appears to have more features
than cygutils':
http://catb.org/~esr/ascii/
I have a package already in Ports:
ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports/release-2/ascii
(The latest 3.11 release is already in my upload queue.)
Should we replace this? Patch attached if so.
