ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/00_index.txt says that you can get BASH 2.04 for DOS from here: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/bsh204br2.zip ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/bsh204b.zip I know, short file names on web servers are quite annoying :-( Eric PS: Indeed BASH is known to be quite big and resource-heavy. You might want to try PDKSH or similar shells.
