Changes in release 4.01:
[4.0z]
+* mv's --force (-f) option now controls solely whether mv prompts (per POSIX)
+* `cp -f' now first attempts to open an existing destination file, and only
+ if that fails does it resort to unlinking the file and retrying the open
+* when ls sorts directory entries, it now honors the current locale settings
* dd's `skip=BLOCKS' operator once again works on systems with a buggy lseek
function (Linux, at least on SCSI tape devices)
* fix a typo in install-sh
