Sorry to add to a thread that I should probably stay away from...but... Having used csh for almost as long as Rod has, I can sometimes tell within 10 minutes after logging in if I'm using csh or tcsh. There are differences. I haven't tried a recent tcsh port in a while, but since there is a lot of discussion about this, I think that we should hold off on any changes. Just to see if my point is still valid, I think I'll go install tcsh and start using it as my shell for a while. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mppsystems.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
