Hmm. I meant "Gnu bash runs on all platforms I'm aware of".

I guess you are aware of platforms where there is a POSIX sh, but not
Gnu bash?

It probably would not hurt to restrict the code to POSIX sh. I think
you can tell Gnu bash to do that with a flag.

On Windows, the easiest way to get a POSIX sh is via Cygwin, which is
just Gnu bash. For people who are Cygwin-phobic, MinGW is not too much
harder to install, and it also provides Gnu bash.

I'm not sure Gnu bash runs on VMS, but does mtn run there either?
