What I read was the bash documentation. The features that I saw described made me think more of the C shell than the Bourne Shell. I admit to having been puzzled by the apparent contradiction between the name and the features. Having been originally eager to port BASH to my machine, I lost interest after my initial examination of the documentation mentioned above. -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631 From a purely user stand point bash does somewhat look like csh ( ksh looking is much closer to the truth... ) Programming wise, sh/ksh. I should know, all our scripts at our site are csh... -randy -- Randy Welch Mail to : ...!ncar!scicom!bldr!randy or rwelch@du.edu Boulder, CO VOICE : 303-442-6717 "Unfortunately, life contains an unavoidable element of unpredictability" -David Lynch "The Angriest Dog in the World"
