Thanks for your answer.
The usenet archive was a good idea. For your curiosity, here are a few
releases :
1985: gcc
1986: make, gdb
1987: gawk, gas
1988: diff, grep, tar
1989: ar
1990: most common utilities (cat chmod cp dd dir du head ln ls mkdir
mv rm rmdir tail)
The changelogs are also interesting to see when the gnu versions of
other commands appeared:
1991: test, df
1992: su, expr, echo
1994: pwd, hostname
1996: chroot, nice
I am not sure for all the dates but this gives anyway a good idea of
the progressive work that has been done.
Bye
