tcsh-5.18 is eight-bit clean. You can get the diffs relative to 4.3BSD csh
by anonymous ftp from, for example,
tesla.ee.cornell.edu
Although this version is very nice, there is one thing I as a user of
the ISO 8859 character set do not like about it: it does not print eight
bit characters as they are, instead it strips them down to ASCII and prints
them in "stand-out mode" (e.g. reverse video).
I have made a small patch to fix this, I hope I can get this integrated
into a future version (the old behaviour is still available by toggling a
shell variable).
I have put up this small patch to tcsh for anonymous ftp on:
sics.se (192.16.123.90)
