I'm porting version 1.14.6 of BASH. This is available at:

    http://www.st.rim.or.jp/~jack/alpha/index.html

I put binary only because I worked with cross development system.

Before executing, set following enviroment variables.

SYSROOT: where is UNIX root system (default = non/invalid)
PATH_SEPARATOR: a character cutting path element (default = ;)
HOME: your home directory
TMPDIR: general temporary directory (used by pipe emulation, etc)

small example:
  SET SYSROOT=C:
  SET PATH_SEPARATOR=;
  SET HOME=C:/HOME/JACK
  SET TMPDIR=C:/TMP

  type `cd D:/bin'    -> change drive to D and change directory to \bin
  type `cd /bin'      -> cd $SYSROOT/bin (if $SYSROOT is valid)
  type `cd'           -> cd $HOME
  type `X=`echo ABC`' -> execute `echo ABC' and output $TMPDIR/sh??????
			 then, read it to set variable X and delete it
  type `pwd'          -> get current drive and direcory and delete matching
			 with $SYSROOT if $SYSROOT is valid

thanks
