This "broken" utility is in the 'pup-tools' PET package; however, it isn't broken, just needs some commandline parameters. But there is no help, so pretty useless.

This utility is in Easy Scarthgap, but renamed to /usr/bin/truncate-pup, so as not to conflict with the busybox 'truncate' applet.

Have now done the same thing in Easy Daedalus. The busybox 'truncate' is all we need.
