GNV includes a port of bash to VMS.

GNU's Not VMS!
	
GNV is a GNU based project, delivering a Unix environment for OpenVMS. 
It is intended to provide the important subset of Unix/Linux/POSIX 
necessary to port UNIX OpenSource software to OpenVMS. GNV consists 
of two parts: a Unix like shell environment and the CTRL Supplemental 
Library which provides functions typically found on Unix systems, but 
are missing, incomplete, or incorrect on VMS.

Many OpenSource software packages ship a source tarball. When 
extracted, the software is built by running the 'configure' script, 
followed by a 'make'. This procedure examines features of the Unix 
system your running on, and builds the sofware package accordingly. 
This process may also work on an OpenVMS system, using the BASH shell 
provided by GNV. It is a goal of the GNV project to improve the 
porting of such OpenSource projects to OpenVMS.
