I have just started using 'tcsh' as my main login shell, because of a WHOLE bunch of advantages it has over 'csh' -- for example, you just use the up-arrow key to access your command history. However -- There are a few bugs left in it that I'd like to get some information on [ and maybe bitch about a little :-) ] -- for example, there are several bugs in the way it executes command scripts. So -- Is there anyone out there who will take pity on a poor 'tcsh' user, and either admit to being responsible for it, of point me in the direction of him/her who is? -- Tom Davis Internet address: tmd@austin.lockheed.com "Imagine there's no countries; it isn't hard to do; Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion, too."

Why don't you run your scripts under /bin/csh. You still have it don't you? There are certain other advantages (other than bugs) to this as well (size being one). Robert -- | Robert L.

Better still, write your shell scripts to run under /bin/sh. Tcsh is my login shell as well, but all our scripts must be able to run under sh for portability reasons.
