Eli,
I guess that's because you are all set up before you started. I
also guess that you did a start run bash. It did not even start for me. My
paths are not in autoexec.bat when I start djgpp work(I run a dj.bat to do
that). I'm not even sure if autoexec.bat is run on starting a dos box.
However, path\boot.bat Icon got bash going, sort of.
"ls" works and "less file.txt" also works but "ls | less" gives pipe
error less not found. However in both straight dos and bash under dos "ls |
less" is normal. Also under bash (no dos) Norton Change Directory
functions normally but does not change directories. Really strange. A
number of members have sent me some more things to try. I'll give it
another go. Thanks for the help.
Regards Ian.
