This image is from the v2.04 (cvs) testing tree.  It's based on a new
version of the library (and bash) which are pre-beta.  It would
also be nice to see a dir bash.exe output for this image 
(which provides the date and size).

This version of bash could be almost anything - I would need
the output from "dir d:\bin\bash.exe" to know what it is.  If
it is not dated in December 2001 it's probably not Win2K compatible.
There is a bash 2.04 on Simtel (and clio in the 2.03 directory)
which were compiled with the Win2K patches.

> BTW, I would like not to have a \bin dir as well! How are you building?

searches for \bin\sh should find it in the djgpp bin directory.  I didn't
do anything special (just set the path and DJGPP environment variable).
