Charles,

In the previous email regarding Bash 2.04 I made a mistake the problem with
the path length was in a early beta version of Bash 2.05 and not in 2.04. I
havn't used Bash 2.04 since the last BAsh 2.05 update fixed all of the known
problems, 8-Oct-2001.

Below is a summary of the emails I have previously sent to the djgpp-workers
newsgroup since starting to work on getting DJPP working on 2KXP (taken from
email archive) that are still relevant (I may have missed some):-

1) BASH 2.04 duplicated files that are included in CVS LIBC:-

>     pipe.c
>     tminit.c
>     dosexec.c


Some of these files may need to be changed.

2) Read seems to NOT wait for a CR before exiting the read function with
2.04.
    Bash read function does  not work and as such I cannot rebuild Perl with
2.04

I found this when builing Perl. All the other packages built okay.
