If someone knows about such a > beast, please tell where to find it. Cygwin provides precisely that. Some might say "it's not 'native'; it relies on the cygwin.dll". I think that's a quibble; it's easy to install, it provides sufficient power to run typical configures; that satisfies the stated requirements. No software is completely "bug-free", but Cygwin bash is as good as any other port of Gnu bash, in my experience. -- -- Stephe
