On what machines will bash run?

Bash has been ported to nearly every version of UNIX.  All you

should have to do to build it on a machine for which a port

exists is to type `configure' and then `make'.  The build process

will attempt to discover the version of UNIX you have and tailor

itself accordingly, using a script created by GNU autoconf.



More information appears in the file `INSTALL' in the distribution.



The Bash web page (http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/bash/bashtop.html)

explains how to obtain binary versions of bash for most of the major

commercial Unix systems.
