[gnu.bash.bug] prompt bug ?

root@cognito.Princeton.EDU (Operator) (06/27/89)

I've just got bash 0.99 on my Sun-4 under OS 4.0.1.  It doesn't seem to like
the Sun C compiler though -- won't compile but compiled sucessfully using
gcc-1.35.  Same kind thing happened with my other Sun-3 under OS 4.0.1.

When I fired-up bash, the prompt is "bash$" instead of "bash>".

Any pointers ?

BTW, when will version 1.0 or the supposedly "real" version come out ?

Bash-0.99 has been removed from prep, and no diffs are available.  This
is the only time that this will happen.  Periodically, I place newer
versions of Bash on prep.ai.mit.edu, and make a small announcement about
it to this list.  Right now Bash-1.01.tar.Z is present.

   When I fired-up bash, the prompt is "bash$" instead of "bash>".

It is supposed to be "bash$".  You are the second person to ask me this
question.  Is there any documentation stating that it should be "bash>"?
