BaCon in Quirky 1.1

[barryk]

I got inspired by vovchik, have put BaCon into my latest Quirky 1.1 (a build of Puppy Linux):

distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/quirky-1.1/release-Quirky-1.1.htm

bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01575

Note, Puppy has an old version of Bash, 3.0.16, which won't compile BaCon. So, I installed Bash 4.1 (temporarily) and compiled BaCon, using that in Quirky.

Hi Barry,

Welcome and thanks for your update!

Indeed BaCon needs a newer version of BASH to compile. Originally it started as a Kornshell program. You will see that the Kornshell version of BaCon can compile with all Kornshell implementations. The performance of Kornshell is faster too. So if there is a Kornshell in Quirky then it should work right away.
