This is what I was thinking about last night after I finished updateing all of 
the files. I will start this tonigh and we where I get to. When I was looking 
at the Bash 2.04 source code it looked like it included source code from LIBC, 
but was modified. Some of the original LIBC source code that the modifications 
were based on have had Win 2K patches so it may not be a case of a build. I 
suspect that I may need to mod / retrofit some of the changes from 2.05 with 
the dospath.c into 2.04 to get it to work.

I will know more when I look at it tonight.
