Greetings,

The DJGPP port of Bash 2.03 has been updated. In this update:

* At startup, Bash will attempt to find a temporary directory by searching 
the environment variables TMPDIR, TMP, and TEMP in that order. If 
none of those directories are valid, 'c:/' will be used.

* SYSROOT will now always be converted to an absolute path at 
startup. You shouldn't set SYSROOT to a relative path anyway, but at 
least now scripts won't mysteriously fail.

*  Added scripts by Robert van der Boon to the dos directory that will be 
used to make Bash buildable in a SFN environment.

* Fixed an occasional crash with 'cd ./..' when 'PATH_SEPARATOR=:'. 
This caused a crash when building binutils from the Cygnus 
Sourceware CVS.

I'm also pondering making 'PATH_SEPARATOR=:' the default since 
Bash is a Unix shell and shell scripts expect PATH to be colon 
separated. Any thoughts on this?

Mark
