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.

$ cat ass1.sh

# array variables declaration
# different file types
type=( "Image File" "Text File" "Sound Clips")

# store the application for files
program=( "xv" "vi" "showaudio")

# store the extension of the file types
exten=( "*.gif *.jpg *.bmp" "*.txt *.doc" "*.wav *.mp3 *.mid")

# initalise variable to 0
toQuit=0
