Major Update.
Read the changelist for details.

Zip File Contents:

1. Binaries of Swiss File Knife Base, the multi function command line tool
   for Windows (XP to Windows 8), Intel Linux (current and old releases),
   Apple Macintosh (i686 and PPC) and ARM systems like Raspberry Pi.

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 these files:

   sfk.exe              Swiss File Knife for Windows.
   sfk-linux.exe        SFK for 32 bits Intel Linux, like Ubuntu.
   sfk-linux-64.exe     SFK for 64 bits Intel Linux, like Ubuntu 64.
   sfk-linux-lib5.exe   SFK for older   Intel Linux, like DSL.
   sfk-mac-i686.exe     SFK for current Intel based Macs.
   sfk-mac-ppc.exe      SFK for older   PowerPC Macs.
   sfk-arm.exe          SFK for ARM systems like Raspberry Pi.

-  do NOT double click on the downloaded .exe,
   but open a terminal or command line window (CMD.EXE).

-  cd into your download folder.

-  Linux/Mac: rename the .exe to just "sfk" like:
      mv sfk-mac-i686.exe sfk
   then make it executable by:
      chmod +x sfk
   and finally type:
      ./sfk

-  Windows: rename the .exe to sfk.exe then type "sfk"

   if you have no unzip tool, or in a wrong version,
   you may download unzip for the command line from
   http://stahlworks.com/dev/index.php?tool=zipunzip
