I would be interested in seeing the changes to the mainline bash sources required for OpenVMS. This is pretty large to maintain with bash, moreso since I do not have or anticpate getting any VMS systems. I can see adding some of the VMS changes to the bash sources if they are not too large. > I have not been able to determine how to pull down the periodic tarballs > from the bash source repository to attempt building them on VMS.

You can go to the head of the `devel' branch: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?h=devel there should be a `download' link on that page.
