Hi, Olivier, I was browsing debian-user and found this (somewhat old) question, with which I thought I might be able to help. http://www-frec.bull.com/docs/download.htm has a large repository of pre-compiled AIX software, including GNU bash (if you're still looking for a shell) and egcs (if you want to compile your own stuff and need a compiler). If you'd like to see TAB completion on steroids, check out zsh at http://sunsite.auc.dk/zsh, and the doc for it's completion mechanism at http://sunsite.auc.dk/zsh/Doc/zsh_20.html. zsh will complete command names, environment variables, file names, directory names, user names, host names, etc, etc, etc. Unfortunately, the bull.com address mentioned above doesn't have zsh. Where I worked, I had to download the source and compile it. (Which is why I specifically mentioned egcs above :) , although I used the local xlc compiler.) I can send you a tar file of zsh (v3.1.5) precompiled for AIX 4.2 or 4.3 (these are the two I use it on, anyway), along with its man pages, if you'd like. -- Larry
