For IRIX, you can get a pre-compiled copy of bash from http://freeware.sgi.com/ which will install it as /usr/freeware/bin/bash. If the host is running IRIX6.5 or later, the admin may have installed the "gnu" package, which includes bash (as /usr/gnu/bin/bash). There are ways to install it in your homedir if you don't have admin priviledges (or can' convince the admin to install it). see the "-r /root" option to inst/swmgr. -- Scott Henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / Help!
