I've had a couple of problems with running shell scripts under Csh v2.07. I don't use scripts often enough (although I can't seem to live without s:startup-sequence!) to have looked into the problem before. The latest was a message of something along the line of "missing k directive" when trying to execute the Lattice v5.04 patch against v5.02. I was able to get around this by using WShell, but am curious about what the problem is with Csh. I vaguely remember (now that I'm away from the machine) something about 'run execute'. Is this the problem and does one of the newer versions of Csh address this? What is the current version? A slightly related (maybe more than I realize) question. I also tried using the 'protect' command to set the script bit, but it seemed like under Csh it also had no effect and the 's' didn't show up when running 'list' as I expected.I didn't check the bit under WShell, but the script ran without using 'execute'. Any enlightenment on this would be welcome.
