the first try failed, so I tried an alternate path, thus the fact that
this is a "second-hand article"
the >>'s are your mail to me and the >'s are my response

}>Where is bash 1.07 ??
}>
}>Yesterday (8 Apr 1991 10:45:09 EDT) I've got a dir list from
}>prep.ai.mit.edu. It says:
}>
}>>> -rw-r--r--  1 14910    wheel       21055 Mar 11  1990 bash-1.05-patches.tar.Z
}>>> -rw-r--r--  1 14910    wheel      389006 Mar  2  1990 bash-1.05.tar.Z
}>
}>I thought prep is the main GNU archive site !?
}>
}>May you help me and give me a pointer?
}It has not been "oficially " released yet, but the cwru version has. 
}It can be found on slc2.ins.cwru.edu in the file
}/pub/bash/bash-1.07.cwru.tar.Z
}(or maybe it is /pub/gnu/bash/bash-1.07..... - you get the picture)
}I have made a coupla useful mods to it as well:
}
}* history_control: 
}   -If set to ignoredups, no command begining with "hist" is put on the
}     history list.
}   -If set to ignoredups, and IGNORE_SMALL is set to a positive integer,
}     any command with fewer characters than the value of IGNORE_SMALL
}     is not saved on the history list
}   -Previous two diffs expanded to include when history_control is set
}     to ignore_space, or unset
}   -variable name changed from IGNORE_SMALL to LINE_EDIT_MIN
}* bashline.c
}   -created function expand-line which expands only history. This is done
}     for the following to be effective
}       "\C-[\C-x" expand-line
}       "\C-[ " self-insert
}       " " "^[^X^[ "
}     this will expand !stuff (ala tcsh). 
}     Gee, the advantages to tcsh seem to be vanishing!
}* readline:
}   -New realine functions "forward-char-search" and "backward-char-search"
}     emulate f and F in vi-editing-mode.
}   -New builtin command "init"
}       init filename
}     Reads filename for new key bindings. filename is in the format
}     of a .inputrc file. This is often if you log in from different
}     terminals regularly. You could do something like:
}
}	case $TERM in
}	     z29) init $HOME/.inputrc.z29    ;;
}	   vt100) init $HOME/.inputrc.vt100  ;;
}	  wyse50) init $HOME/.inputrc.wyse50 ;;
}	esac
}    -New readline function kill-whole-line kills entire line no matter
}    	where you are.
}    -New builtin command bind
}        bind 'key: action'
}       binds a key interactively.
}If you would like any of these just ask.
}have fun!
