Howdy all!
How can I get arrays in Cygin's Bash?
I did a search in Google search and found this reference to "Cygwin array
patch".
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=551009&group_id=
5470
Is this what I need?
The excerpt below shows the error I get from trying to run a script with an
array in it.
