No flames please, if this is the wrong group, tell me by Email and I'll pack this up and leave... I am curious as to which shells people use, and which they've tried. If you could respond by Email, I'll summarize and post (though this account is going bye bye in Dec...). Do you use csh? ksh? tsh? Also (as an aside, again, please no flames) -- what IS tsh? I have been stuck at a backwater system III site for a while... Thanks Scott

I am currently using tcsh. I began on csh, and have used ksh. I tried vsh, but didn't like it. Bourne shell for programs like my remove to a tmp directory. SHELL OPINIONS sh great for command programming (fast) not fully featured enough for general use, though ksh ksh and I just didn't get along. It was a hassle for me to learn csh the shell I started on, and was very familiar with. I like the control structures, alias, pushd/popd, and the history mechanism. makes it easy to work on the system tcsh csh++. csh with command line editing, filename completion, and some other little goodies. only problem is that it is not quite working right with our beta-test UMAX4.3. -- Jeff Medcalf jeffm@uokmax.uucp jeffm@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu !chinet!uokmax!jeffm jeffm@invent_an_address (as reliable as the preceeding) In 1869, the waffle iron was invented, thus solving the annoying tendency of waffles to wrinkle in the dryer.
