the tcsh binaries for a range of machines/operating systems, in compressed form, are available from a number of sites via anonymous ftp - at least 3:- > irisa.irisa.fr 131.254.2.3 NFF, TeX, iPSC2, tcsh, > tesla.ee.cornell.edu 128.84.253.11 tcsh > tut.cis.ohio-state.edu 128.146.8.60 GNU, tcsh, perl scripts So if you just want to *use* tcsh get the binary, and the manual page, by anon ftp from a site, put it in your path and use chsh to make it your default. This way you don't have to spend a lot of time patching/getting the csh sources or take a load of crap from sys admin or whatever.

You need to have tcsh put into /etc/shells so that chsh knows that it's
a bona fide shell.
Needless to say your sysadm is the person to see....
This is a security feature in SunOS 4+ I believe.
