I noticed that tcsh used to be much less compatible with csh than it is today. Several years (1989) ago I installed it and went nuts with the subtle differences. Tried it again a little later (1991) and have been hooked ever since. The second time I tried it I didn't even notice that it was tsch, and the release notes specifically stated that much work had been done to make it BSD csh compatible. Before it felt combatible[sic] with system V csh, which I believe was a 4.1 or earlier csh (but the ethno-cyberhistorians will tell me if I'm wrong). Maybe it might be worth trying out for a few hours over the next day or two the latest tsch and see if it is still : It also would not grok my prompt env setting either... I don't recall that bug. As an experiment, I just ripped out my "if I'm running in tcsh, do xXX" code and it seemed to look just like csh. Complete with the whacked out alaises that I have for changing the prompt based on the dir I'm in. : I don't :-) At least we agree to disagree :-) True. But at least we're talking about what we disagree on. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
