Is there anyone out there with file completion for Sys V csh?? We would like to get it for our IRIS 2400 Turbo. We have a source license for 4.3 BSD Unix. I'm sick of typing '*'.

There ain't no such thing as a System V "csh", in the sense of a standard C shell for System V. You'll have to figure out what SGI did to the C shell, and do the same to the 4.3BSD version.

I'm sick of typing '*'. The 4.3bsd csh has file name completion. There is a variable called 'filec' that you can set which will enable file name completion. I however, prefer the file name completion (and other goodies) that come with tcsh because tcsh does file name completion visually, ie. it immediately expands the name so that you can see it while csh does not show it expanded on your terminal. If you have source for the IRIS csh, you can try to integrate the 4.3bsd or tcsh mods into it. Given that tcsh is such a nice interface, I am surprised that it is not more popular.

Are you sure you have the same csh? % set filec % echo fi^[^H^Hxes fixes % Works fine for me. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7690) UUCP: seismo!mimsy!chris ARPA/CSNet: chris@mimsy.umd.edu

The 4.3BSD C shell *I've* seen will expand the file name on your terminal; you type "cat /etc/passw<ESC>" and it will fill in the "d".
