[net.bugs.4bsd] A Postscript: More C-shell Bugs

donn (04/16/83)

I have a little list...  If you are fond of bashing your C-shell
you can try tricks like:

	% `\!\!`

(Compare the behavior when a command appears instead of history.)

	% mkdir junk
	% cd junk
	% echo hi there > clear
	% `ls`

	... screen clears ...

(Compare the behavior for `echo echo hi`...  This may be a "feature"!)

More available on request.  If you have some of your own, I collect
'em...  Send them on in.

After this (very interesting) discussion of C shell bugs; I couldn't
resist making this up.

Hemminger's law of bugs:
	Any program sufficiently powerful to be interesting will have
	features which seem to bugs, and bugs that seem to be
	features.
