Is there a version of csh with filename completion available for Pyramid?

Try:  
	set filec

in your .cshrc.  You can also run 'tcsh' which, as I recall, is in the
Pyramid distribution.  Use the same thing for tcsh (note that this can also
be done from the command line).

	This makes the ESC key do file completion.

/bin/tcsh.

There was some discussion of porting the 4.3BSD csh for OSx 5.0, but it
suffers from some portability problems (read: it's VAX dependent), and it
was just a lot more important to do the SVR3.2 and POSIX stuff.

Anyone know of any functionality in the 4.3BSD csh that isn't in tcsh?

	Hum, well we here at CalPoly took the 4.3BSD csh off the
	distro tape and compiled, seems to work fine.  
	We did this to add Ohio-States patches that make it
	'tcsh' ( Which is a much improved version then Pyramid's ).

	That depends what 'tcsh' you are talking about.  I for
	one am hook on the tcsh from Ohio-State.  The two big 
	reason are: command line editing ( emacs style ) and improved 
	command line history.  Other then that it is pretty much
	csh.
