Why do I want tcsh? Because I don't have a NeXT on my desk, and so I occasionally want to login from my office. If I use ypchsh (or whatever the command is to change default login shells in a yellow pages environment) to change over the tsch and then login to the NeXT, I get no response. So, is tcsh avail for anonymous ftp in any of the NeXT archives? Tim McGuire mcguire@cs.tamu.edu

NextAnswers says tcsh is available from tut.cis.ohio-state.edu and irisa.irisa.fr-- I haven't checked, and I don't know whether it's a complete distribution or just diffs to csh. For those new to comp.sys.next, I've attached previous discussion on this subject. Anyone care to tie up all the loose ends? -=EPS=- ------- From: chari@nueces.cactus.org (Chris Whatley) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next Subject: tcsh on the NeXT?

There are at least 15 tcsh features that are missing on NeXT's extended c-shell. Additionally, I use a heterogeneous network with oodles of cross mounting so I want to be running the EXACT same shell on all the machines I use.

Lines: 19 I finally sat down and found out why tcsh does not work on the cube. It turnes out that the global variable envrion did not have an 'extern' in front of it, consequently is was being set up as a local variable, and thus when dereferenced, being that is was never initialized to anything a bus error resulted. To fix this on line 908 of sh.func.c change the line char **environ to extern char **environ Unless some one can give me a good reason (like copyright laws and thus) I will try to put the binary at one (or several) of the popular archive sites. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <> :-{ :-\<> Russell Cattelan University of Minnesota <> <> :-} :-`) <> cattelan@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu <> <> :-) :-( <> {...!rutgers!umn-cs!cattelan} <> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ------- From: jacob@gore.com (Jacob Gore) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next Subject: Re: tcsh lives on the Cubes Message-ID: <130078@gore.com> Date: 5 Jun 90 18:39:31 GMT References: <1990Jun5.164639.34@cs.umn.edu> Reply-To: jacob@gore.com (Jacob Gore) Organization: Gore Enterprises Lines: 13 / comp.sys.next / cattelan@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu (Russell Cattelan) / Jun 5, 1990 / > Unless some one can give me a good reason (like copyright laws and thus) > I will try to put the [tcsh] binary at one (or several) of the popular > archive sites. You named the good reason yourself: tcsh is based on csh which, last I checked, has not been cleared as free from AT&T code. Look among the released 4.3-tahoe files at uunet, if you don't find csh there, you shouldn't release a tcsh binary globally. Jacob -- Jacob Gore Jacob@Gore.Com boulder!gore!jacob

They added a couple of things to tcsh here at Brown. I compiled the version used here on my NeXT and after about 1 or 2 minor changes (sorry, I don't remember them anymore, but they were trivial) everything worked fine. As far as I know they added stuff that is useful in larger NFS-networks like dynamical mounting support and stuff like that. If you are interested in that you should send mail to jak@cs.brown.edu -- Ronald ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
