The product has been sunsetted though and I doubt there is an I64 variant.  If I had the code, I would try it though as an excercise.  I haven't thought of it before, but it would be an interesting task...

Hmmmm...  Question....

Even though it would be unsupported could the GNV Bash Shell be used as a
CLI?  Or are there specific requirements for something to be used like that?

No, I wouldn't do it.  Just curious.
