Subject: Problem in Cygwin program offering: Bashdb is for Bash 3.1.9; Bash is at 4.4.12 (or 5.x).
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Bashdb doesn't work very well (many things don't work) on
Cygwin, -- figured out that Bashdb is from 2012, while bash is from 2017.

If bashdb was upgraded to a compatible version
it might run a bit better.

Table from page @
 https://sourceforge.net/projects/bashdb/files/bashdb/5.0-1.1.1/

Selecting which version of bashdb to use

The version of bashdb to use has to be compatible with the version of 
bash used. Run bash --version to see what version of bash you are using.

    If bash is 5.0 or higher, use folder 5.0-1.1.1
    If bash is 4.4 or higher, use folder 4.4-1.0.1
    If bash is 4.3 or higher, use folder 4.3-0.91
    If bash is 4.2 or higher, use folder 4.2-0.8
    If bash is 4.1 or higher but less than 4.2 use folder 4.1-0.5
    If bash is 4.0 or higher but less than 4.1 use folder 4.0-0.4
    If bash is 3.1 or higher and less than 4.0, use folder 3.1-0.09.
    If bash is 3.0 or higher but less than 3.1, use the folder 3.00-0.05.

FYI, it appears to also work with ksh and zsh.

Thanks!
