Hi,

I've just downloaded the DJGPP environnement. I've installed everything
as decribed in the 'readme.1st' file and now the DJGPP compiler works
great. Nevertheless I've got problem using 'bash' (I found GNU bash
1.14.7 for DJGPP v2 in the same ftp directory, and decided to have a
try). I'm working under windows 95, and every time I launch 'bash' in a
ms-dos window, 'bash' seams to be lost after a few commands (most of the
time just after one 'ls' command!). that's to say that the first command
is executed quite well, with valid output, a new prompt is displayed,
but then the shell seams to be blocked, there is no echo, and no
reaction to whatever you type. I just can exit 'bash' typing
'CTRL+BREAK'. And then again (within the command.com DOS shell! ) I've
got no echo for a few seconds (something like 5 seconds). Finally the
echo comes back and everything seams to work, except that 'bash' is not
very usefull that way ;-)

I've got a DJGPP variable correctly set 'c:\djgpp\djgpp.env' and
'c:\djgpp\bin' is in my PATH. I've tryied to launch bash with -norc and
-noprofile options, but everything's the same. Nevertheless, the
reame.dos file of bash documentation says "I compiled under Win95 and
tested under Win95/NT4.0". So the problem must be due to me
(configuration?).

Have you ever heard of such a problem? Would you have an idea?

Thank you.
Philippe HANRIGOU.

PS: I hope this is the right place for this kind of question. If not,
please let me know...
