Why bother?  Use bash for script filing and makefiles and stuff like
that.  4DOS carries a much lower overhead AFAIK and has a lot of great
features as well to boot.  Since bash is a UNIX shell, a LOT of things
will be different.  I have bash for DOS, however I haven't really
played with it yet.  I know that I will use it though because I spend
about 90% of my time in Linux in bash.

Just my $0.02
