(Sorry if this is a FAQ - could somebody please point me in the right
 direction if so. Perhaps there is a mailing list...?)

I have recently purchased a PC and would like to install quite a lot of
the FSF software on it.  I have already installed DJ Delorie's port of
gcc (includes bison and flex, tar) and micro-emacs.  I have picked up
quite a lot of the GNUish MSDOS stuff from vulcan.phyast.pitt.edu.  I'd
like information on MSDOS versions of the following utilities:

	rcs 	(I know 5.6 has some support - has anyone actually got a 
		 version up and running?)
	bash	(or at least something that will give me the same user
		 interface - file and command completion, command
		 history, command aliasing, option to use Unix style 
		 directory separators / rather than \, emacs like
		 command line editing, ...)
	(gnuchess)
	less
	ispell

Oh, the 'MSDOSmoved' file is wrong on prep.ai.mit.edu, in pub/gnu.  It
says /pub/gnu/MSDOS has been moved to
	/pub/gnu/MicroPorts/MSDOS
when it should be
	/pub/gnu/MicrosPorts/MSDOS

If versions don't exist I might be able to give a hand producing them -
particularly for RCS, which I have used and modified already on a Sun4.
