Not my call. My branch is included on the CBT distribution and on github at https://github.com/JohnArchieMckown/bash/tree/bash-4.2-zos The github version has all the updates which will be on the CBT as soon as it is put up. It also has a bash-executables.pax.Z which can be unwound to get the run-time files. > > (You seem to have borrowed a C compiler again.)
