I am running bash on top of WIndows NT 4.0
GNU bash, version 2.02.1(2)-release (i586-pc-cygwin32)
Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
I have been told that I should upgrade to a newer version.
Where can I get the latest stable version of bash?
Among the reasons I want to upgrade is that it seems to hang when I try to
run a non-existent command,
e.g.
home $ run_non_existing
Similarly the type command seems to hang. I have a very long $PATH, and it
includes
certain directories needed for Windows that I suspect are irrelevant to
bash.
Is there a standard way to not have them on the bash path?
I am also looking for man and the man pages.
Specifically I would like to see all the predefined symbols I can use to set
the prompt in PS1.
I am also looking for advice about how to port ksh scripts to bash.
Finally, when I run perl in bash @INC is only . the current directory, even
though in a DOS box or the output of perl -V shows that it also should
include c:/Perl/lib and c:/Perl/site/lib.
Is this related to bash somehow?
If people suggest this I will include my .bashrc and output of env but I
wanted to avoid too long a post.
Thanks,
Steve
