- This README file is in -*- text -*- mode, because Emacs likes it that way.
-
- This is GNU Bash, version 1.12. Bash is the GNU Project's Bourne
- Again SHell, an interactive shell with Bourne shell syntax (/bin/sh);
- but also with interactive command line editing, job control on
- architectures that support it, Csh-like history features and brace
- expansion, and a slew of other stuff. For more information on the
- features of Bash that are new to this type of shell, see the file
- `documentation/features.texi'. There is also a processed DVI file
- there, as well as a large man page.
-
- To compile it, try typing `make'.
-
- You may want to read the file INSTALL in this directory for more
- information, but I doubt it.
-
- If you are a csh user and wish to convert your csh aliases to Bash
- aliases, you may wish to use the script in examples/alias-conv.sh.
-
- Bug reports for 1.12 should be sent to:
-
- bash-maintainers@ai.mit.edu
-
- The discussion list "bug-bash@ai.mit.edu" often contains information
- about new ports of Bash, or discussions of new features or behaviour
- changes that people would like. This mailing list is also available
- as a news feed in gnu.bash.bug.
-
- When you send a bug report to bash-maintainers@ai.mit.edu, please
- include:
-
- * the version number of Bash
- * the machine and OS that it is running on (see .machine or .made)
- * a description of the bug
- * a recipe for recreating the bug reliably
- * a fix for the bug if you have one!
-
- While the maintainers of Bash do not promise to fix all bugs, we would
- like this shell to be the best that we can make it.
-
- Enjoy!
