announcing Disk Top Ten (dtt) version 2.1 (release candidate), a better "where's my disk space" utility

dtt quickly summarizes filesystem usage into a "top ten" list of largest subtrees or individual objects. Its output has the unique property that it shows the ten largest single subtrees found at any depth without reporting redundant results. In other words, all the really big chunks float to the top.

New in this minor release:

• added --inodes option
• made option parsing errors fatal (thank you 0XBF)
• added support for Perl 5.38.2
• made lots of clarifying edits to the manuals

Source package, Slackware 15.0 slackbuild, manuals, and changelog are here: https://metaed.com/papers/dtt/. Look for version 2.1a, which is the 2.1 release candidate. Provided that it survives field testing, this will be promoted to 2.1 general release in due time.
