Well, we tried out the latest C-shell that we found here, and it mostly works. But, it isn't good enough to use on a daily basis, for at least these reasons: 1) It matches initial substrings of a command, e.g. lsHJHJKHJKHJHJKHJ will do an 'ls'. This means you cannot run commands which start with any of the builtin command names. 2) Cannot run batch files. This means that when we cannot run 'vi', which is a batch file that calls aztec's 'z.exe' followed by a call to a kludge program that restores the cursor. There are many other losses in not being able to run batch files. 3) Sidekick does not work when running C-shell. It doesn't matter what order it is loaded, it never gets keystrokes when C-shell is running. We like this shell very much, it has potential, but it needs the above stuff fixed before we can use it as the 'standard' shell.
