Swiss File Knife Files

Maintenance Release.
Read the changelist for details.

Zip File Contents:

1. Binaries of Swiss File Knife Base, the multi function command line tool
   for Windows (95 to Vista) and Linux (current and old releases)

2. Sourcecode and build scripts of SFK Base,
   allowing compilation under Windows and Linux

3. Some documentation, example and test files.

If you are in a hurry and want only a single executable,
download any of the following. NO INSTALLATION is required,
the executables can be used instantly after download:

   sfk.exe              Swiss File Knife for Windows.
   sfk-linux.exe        SFK for current Linux distribs, like Ubuntu.
   sfk-linux-lib5.exe   SFK for older Linux distribs, like DSL.

NOTE:
   All executables have the version number in their filename for clarity.
   You should rename them after download for easy use:

   sfknnn.exe              -> sfk.exe
   sfknnn-linux.exe        -> sfk
   sfknnn-linux-lib5.exe   -> sfk

   under linux, also add "chmod +x sfk" afterwards.
   if unzipping fails on some linux distributions,
   download the current unzip from www.info-zip.org.
