I'd like to learn a shell fairly well and chose csh because it's in the base FreeBSD system (a little graybeard character) and I found good documentation on it written by William Joy. But I've read some things that it's a "bad" shell. Is it? It seems that, at some level, all shells are essentially equal. But when shells start to divide is csh left in the dust? What about the shells I've read rave things about: Korn and Bash. I've got C++ experience, so maybe that's why I chose csh too. -- David Kanter djkanter@northwestern.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
