Rather than junking all the old release on my drive f: I'm putting all the latest on drive d:, that way I'm never down. I've got Bash 1.47 on drive f: and I've been using it for some time with good results. It's better than dos. I've just unzipped the new bash 2.03 (plus the new gnu ports) onto my drive d:. I've also copied my existing _bash start up files into d:/djgpp. I invoke Bash 2.03 using the same process as previous but changing my dos bat files from f: to d: and my _bashrc file from f: to d: both location and contents as appropriate. It starts up fine but whenever I hit the key 'e' it prints on the screen:- "running _bashrc" and if I hit return it does indeed re-run the _bashrc file. All the commands without an "e" seem fine I had to change some dot.inf to dot.info to use them. I must be doing something silly. I'll re-read the readme files, if any of you have any ideas please reply. Regards Ian. PS I put a unix version of bash 2.03 on a unix box at work (I ran make) without difficulties and used my _bashrc file there okay.
