The oldest version I can find with by running "locate bash-1.0" on my

Do you keep an archive of old software somewhere? I spend a lot of time
hunting down old versions of 90'ies era software, but it's becoming
increasingly frustrating due to ftp services being turned down, especially
at universities.
True, I'm amazed every time I try a really
old version of some old GNU
software like bash 1.0 on a contemporary (but unusual) OS. No errors, no
warnings, nothing to fix-up manually. It just works.
If you have a version of bash-1.0, send it my way. We weren't quite as
careful with preserving milestone software versions in those days.
