Hmm.  I only have a few makefiles that use bash and they seem to work
ok.  Granted they don't use && though.  I haven't really fiddled with
bash much in DOS yet cause 4DOS does mostly everything I need.  I love
bash in Linux though.  I think as time goes on, I'll do more bash
programming in DOS - simply for ease of portability.  I mean bash is a
great shell, and 4DOS is hardly portable right?
