GNU Bash is a Unix-style command interpreter (or shell). It has many more features than the standard shell that comes with the various versions of DOS and Windows. Features geared toward interactive use include command line editing, command history, aliases, and prompt expansion. Programming features include additional variable expansions, shell arithmetic, and a number of variables and options to control shell behavior. ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bsh203b.zip bsh203b.zip contains the binary along with documentation in Info, Man, and ASCII formats. ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bsh203d.zip bsh203d.zip contains the Bash manual in HTML, Postscript, and DVI formats. ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bsh203s.zip bsh203s.zip contains the Bash source code. The changes since the previous port, 1.14.7, are too numerous to list here. See readme.dos, CHANGES, COMPAT and NEWS for details.
