If you're not yet comfortable with git, I've begun a set of contributor guidelines for coreutils that is intended to help: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=blob;f=README-contribution-guidelines;hb=HEAD
Thanks for the link.I just pulled it down and unpacked the tarball for git, but I expect it will take a while before I can get it working.
It looks like the fastest thing to do is set up a linux system and mount a VMS directory through NFS, but I will not be able to do that for about a month.
I really was not planning to tackle updating the coreutils to VMS at this time, I have been working on improving Perl on VMS, however I found my self needing a more current tar because of issues with Perl's handling of Tar archives.
I have written clearance from $DAYJOB to do this work, so there should be no problem with getting the paperwork going.
