bug#28224: Need to know technical support for GnuWin32: CoreUtils 5.3.0 versions

[Ravinder]

Thanks for your reply Eric,

As I seen address@hidden contact information we have in the official gnu
site. So please provide any contact information for supporting GnuWin32:
CoreUtils 5.3.0.


Thanks In Advance,

Regards,
Ravinder. P.
