Here are some patches to the standard AmigaOS 3.1 commands:

  File          Ver.  Changes
  ------------  ----  -----------------------------------------
  AddDataTypes  39.2  aligned AnchorPath (PatchWork complained)
  Dir           37.5  aligned AnchorPath (PatchWork complained)
  Mount         40.3  aligned AnchorPath (PatchWork complained)
  Sort          37.3  works on standard input/output
  Avail         40.1  localized output (for example 12.345.678)

The patches can be applied with SAS/C's 'SPatch' utility (included).

For example, to patch the `Dir' command you have to copy the `Dir.pch' file
and the `SPatch' file in the C: directory, then issue the command

  Spatch Dir

`SPatch' will produce a new file called `Dir.new'. Delete `Dir' and
`Dir.pch' then rename `Dir.new' to `Dir'.

I know, these instructions aren't fit for inexperienced users, but then
inexperienced users aren't going to need these patches anyway.
