I'm looking for help installing BASH, the GNU Bourne Again SHell, on a MiniTower running Unix System V, Version 2. The package requires the include file "dirent.h" which I haven't got. Can anyone tell me how to either remove it, fake it, or work around it? Along the same lines, CRISP, another free editing package, requires "readdir", "opendir", and "closedir" --- which I also haven't got. Can anyone give me help with these as well?

SYS5R2 based systems (as in NCR OS 2.xx) do not have these routines in it's libraries, fortunately this is easily rectified by obtaining Doug Gwyn's public domain implementation of the directory routines and installing them on your system. I have used them with great success on Towers running NCR OS 2.xx. I can email you the gwyn-dir package if you cannot locate it on an archive site near you, send me email requesting the package. -- Arthur W.
