If you are so tired of so many CSH scripts being published why don't you
demand that whoever did your port port CSH? Those who supply inferior
products (UNIX without Berkeley enhancements, etc.) should be forced to
clean up their act or go out of business!

For one thing, it's one hell of a lot faster. In any case, the sad truth is that some sites don't have csh. Just as some sites don't have source licenses. Probably for the same reason: Money.

The C Shell is obviously an inferior product. As Steve Bourne is rumored to have said: "The C Shell was an experiment. Now we can get it right." -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry

The Korn shell seems to be a vast improvment, but since none of us non-ATT plebes will probably ever see it, I'll stick with the Bill Joy abmomination, thank you. -- Clyde W.

I think that both sh and csh have a right to exist. Some (I...) prefer csh (or its relatives) to sh, as a command interpreter. The Bourne shell is certainly a better programming language, but it's far from the last word on command interpreters. The ksh (Korn shell, an extended Bourne shell. Ksh was developed at Bell and is for some reason unavailable. Sigh) is more like it. I guess the reason that we don't see more jazzed up versions of shell is that (t)csh is already available. {decvax,philabs}!mcvax!enea!ttds!johanw Johan Widen
