Thanks for the advices.
I have downloaded the latest bash 2.04 beta from your web site and now
I am able to compile shl20js.zip out-of-the-box without difficulties.
In conclusion, shl20js.zip can *not* be compiled with stock bsh203b.zip,
at least without some changes to the Makefiles.

Btw, the latest bsh204b.zip creates a %DJDIR%/gnu/binutl-2.10 directory
that contains a readme.dos file describing the DJGPP port of binutils.
I assume this is not intentional.
