I have ported bash to the Iris.  The changes will be in 1.06, which
Brian should be releasing fairly soon.  However, the changes I made have
only been tested with the pre-release Irix 3.3, and it will definitely
require at least some changes to make it work under 3.2.

If you won't be able to get 3.3 when it ships, it shouldn't be too
difficult to make it work with 3.2.
