>Unless you have fork/exec I see little chance to port bash.
Well, I'm not even going to try the multitasking. :-)
My main reasons for wanting a DOS bash are command history and real
wildcards. (The bit on comp.os.msdos.programmer about *b.* was what
made me think of it, actually.) Other things will be nice, but those
are my main aggravations with COMMAND.COM.
I expect I'll have to write something like exec(), since (as far as I
know) all we have in djgpp is system(), which would be problematic,
since it's supposed to call the shell to interpret the line. ;-)
