Oct 22, 2015 at 0:43 comment added cas anyone writing csh scripts should be advised not to and referred to perl.com/doc/FMTEYEWTK/versus/csh.whynot and shlomifish.org/open-source/anti/csh Way back in the dark ages of the 1980s, csh made a pretty decent interactive shell because it had neat features like history recall and editing. Other, better, shells have long since gained and surpassed those features without the drawbacks of csh.
