I spoke too soon. I thought Gnuish MSDOS contained a bourne shell. the
closest thing was ms-sh*.* Korn shell.
I have a licensed Borland C++ 3.1 installed on my XP if anyone is interested in
compiling something for 80x86. It has a very useful code generator.
Haven't used it in quite a while, but I still know it pretty well.
I wouldn't mind compiling an old version of BASH, but it requires that you
already have the ability to run BASH configure scripts :-(. Nothing like
recursive dependencies.
also, it was said that BASH is unusually large. version 4.0's (latest) source
is 21MB. 1.14.7's source is about 5MB and that's as far back as
ftp://ftp.gnu.org goes. I would need help getting this thing built because I
don't have the resources to build properly in 16-bit. by default bash wants
gcc. it may require a major rework to get it going on another compiler like
BC++ 3.1.
well, stick with something already written I guess.
