Thanks, but I now have bash binary and am ready to make a

not be cpp as much as the Ultrix /bin/sh that's not
completely upt to the task of autoconf.
Well, my main project with the VAX6000 is to eventually have
XMI support for NetBSD. And playing with old 4.3BSD is sort
of on the sidelines of getting this done.
Ah, I knew there was something. Yeah, some poeple are
different :-).
Yes, when I have the money to spare. But I'm glad you are
confident that these bits are preserved somewhere from the
bitrot that has bitten the TUHS archive's version.

(and readline
is really my main reason for wanting bash!)
You mean all you want is a sh(1) like shell with history and command
line editing? Go for pdksh. It doesn't use readline, so there are some
differences in the editor, but you will get used to it soon. Tried to play
with 4.3BSD sources, Tahoe and Quasijarus.
This will not be of much help. There is no support for the VAX6k
CPUs nor the XMI bus in any 4.3BSD. I must have
FTPed the Quasijarus files in ASCII mode or
Michael is using a strange compress format, as neither
Ultrix compress nor gzip recognizes it as theirs.
FAQ: http://minnie.tuhs.org/Quasijarus/compress.html
Once you read that, you will understand that M. Sokolov has a,
uhhm, "very special" personality. Noticed that
the TUHS archive's Tahoe version has some broken
files (as noted in BROKEN) that's sad.
Get the CSRG archive CDs from Mr. McKusick:

There is all the good old BSD stuff, direct from the Daemon him self.
