   Would anyone who has gotten BASH to run (with functioning readline) on
   the DECsystem 5400/DECstation 3100 running Ultrix v3.1 please contact
   me?

I am currently using a DEC 3100 to maintain Bash.  I have compiled it
successfully with /bin/cc.  I use VAX and Bsd in the Makefile.

   gcc -c   -DVAX -DTARGET=VAX -DBsd -I./ builtins.c
   builtins.c: In function logout_builtin:
   builtins.c:1231: `interactive' undeclared (first use this function)
   builtins.c:1231: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
   builtins.c:1231: for each function it appears in.)
   builtins.c: In function exit_or_logout:
   builtins.c:1252: `interactive' undeclared (first use this function)
   builtins.c: In function declare_internal:
   builtins.c:2414: `array_needs_making' undeclared (first use this function)
   *** Error code 1

Um, what version of Bash?

   $ ./bash
   initialize_jobs: get line disc: jobs.c: Not a typewriter
   bash$ 

Are you using a funky window system?  This message means that the
standard input to Bash is not actually a tty, (which I rather doubt).
