This collection of scripts was originally written for older versions
of bash by Noah Friedman (friedman@gnu.ai.mit.edu).  The conversion
to bash v2 syntax was done by Chet Ramey.

These scripts are as-is; there is no copyright associated with
any of them.  They exist simply as examples of bash scripting.

Here's a description of what's in this directory:

aref.bash		Pseudo-arrays and substring indexing examples.
bash.sub.bash		Library functions used by require.bash.
bash_version.bash	A function to slice up $BASH_VERSION.
meta.bash		Enable and disable eight-bit readline input.
mktmp.bash		Make a temporary file with a unique name.
number.bash		A fun hack to translate numerals into English.
PERMISSION		Permissions to use the scripts in this directory.
prompt.bash		A way to set PS1 to some predefined strings.
