Re: Upgrading bash in PASE

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,

I don't think Bash is ordinarily part of PASE, I think it has to be 
added.  I thought PASE is the Korn shell.

So digging a bit:  From "Qshell for iSeries" (MCPress)  by Ted Holt and 
Fred Kulack:

/"Qshell is a Unix-like interface... ...It is a Bourne-like shell with 
many features from the Korn shell.  Qshell began as a port of the ash 
shell, a Bourne-like shell from Berkely Software Design (BSD) "/

So I think the Bash shell has been added to your system.  I tried that 
on my V7 box and did not find Bash.  Several of the AIX downloads 
actually work quite well in PASE.
