Well I'd hardly consider myself an expert on "shells", and would like to
thank Sergey for helping me compile bash.  However my next project was
going to be compiling tcsh for gnu-win32, however in a fit of stupidity I
accidentally deleted some gnu-win32 files, then in trying to restore them
I wiped out part of Win95, so it'll be about a week (when my new computer
arrives) until I'm even going to be able to look at tcsh.  However I
should have bash 2.0 uploaded to my web page by Monday. I think there are
about three files in bash.tar.gz and pdksh.tar.gz (the .exe file, the .exe
file with stabs, and the man page).  The tar files are setup to be
extracted into a /usr,/etc type of directory structure.
