3.79 ^^; And as the bash prompts reveal, it's 2.03. Yes, I just went to
the main DJGPP ftp and downloaded them from the v2gnu directory.

I don't believe it does. Thanks.

I set that manually every time because I haven't gotten around to doing
it in autoexec.bat. I'm never actually in \bin when I start bash ...

Yep, it was that way in the .tar file. That is, there was both bash.exe
and sh.exe in the .tar file.

Well, it's a long line, but here, from config.make:

config-sysdirs =  sysdeps/standalone/i386 sysdeps/standalone
sysdeps/i386/fpu sysdeps/libm-i387 sysdeps/i386 sysdeps/wordsize-32
sysdeps/ieee754 sysdeps/libm-ieee754 sysdeps/generic sysdeps/stub

Yes @_@ I worry about that with code/documents I didn't write myself. I
back up the old version without fail if I feel I have to change
something
to get it to work. (Although, I greatly prefer not to change things
thus.)

Eeh ... well, with your suggestion (adding a SHELL= line) that echo bug
went away when I restored the original version. (Leaving the separator
error ... )
