Subject: ANNOUNCE: Bash 2.04 port released
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com


The DJGPP port of version 2.04 of GNU Bash is now available
from the SimTel.NET mirrors.

GNU Bash is a Unix-style command interpreter (or shell). It has many more
features than the standard shell that comes with the various versions of
DOS and Windows. Features geared toward interactive use include
command line editing, command history, aliases, and prompt expansion.
Programming features include additional variable expansions,
shell arithmetic, and a number of variables and options to control
shell behavior.

Info and Man formats.

Changes since Bash 2.03:
* SYSROOT and PATH_SLASH no longer function.
* The path used by 'command -p' is now '/dev/env/DJDIR/bin'.
* /usr is no longer treated specially.

See readme.dos, CHANGES, COMPAT and NEWS for more changes. But please ignore 
the fourth item that is listed in readme.dos as changed since 2.03. An update 
will fix this typo.

Please direct any further discussions about this port to the
comp.os.msdos.djgpp discussion group or to its e-mail gateway 
djgpp AT delorie DOT com.
