Any help would be appreciated. The 'bash' shell is the only Unixy shell that's been successfully ported to DJGPP so far. It is capable of running shell scripts that require 'sh'. The latest ported version of bash can be downloaded from SimTel as 'v2gnu/bshXXXXb.zip'. In order to get sh shell scripts to use bash, you'll need to create a DJGPP-style symlink to it named 'sh.exe'. This is the barest bones example of how to use bash; for details I highly recommend reading the documentation! hth -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
