For the past few years, I have become very accustomed to the BSD "extensions" found in 4.2/4.3: they even got included in ULTRIX... but they never made it to System V (except for curses, vi, and a few other true necessities ;-). Well, after using System V for awhile now (I now have the job of managing a 3B2 and a 3B5, which are very nice systems), and I have come to miss the C-shell (Berkeley's CLI) immensely; the other features don't seem to be nearly as hard to live without. Is there anyone out there that can point me towards finding ``csh'' for System V to run on a 3Bx? Please send responses directly to me (as always, if there is sufficient interest, I will summarize for the net). Furthermore, I do not want this to become a discussion of features/lacks of any particular version of UN*X, nor a discussion on the features/lacks of any particular command interface. Many thanks...

I have the tcsh sources and have been playing with them, but i wonder if duplicating csh from scratch wouldnt be easier :-). alex alex@umbc3.umd.edu
