Just wondering... Does anyone still uses tcsh?  That was my favorite shell before bash.

There are always pockets of resistance, hiding out in the mountains

Also, please don't top-post on this list.

Yes, I am sure.  Plus, the thousands scripts still running daily... :-)

Yes, apologies for that.

Some of us were lured to csh on SunOS by mentions of C-like features (still
looking for those) and used tcsh on other systems, before coming to our senses
when POSIX standardized based on Bourne/Korn shell features, and appreciating
the kitchen sink inclusive implementation of interactive shell features provided
by bash.

Some of us were lured to csh on BSD 4.2 because sh was primitive as all 
get-out -- no functions, no aliases; the only thing it had going for it was 
better signal trapping.  Where I was, a few students implemented 'dsh', a 
follow-on to 'csh', which had ESC-based pathname, user, ~user, and envariable 
expansion (ran in cbrk mode), and a few other things (and some really goofy 
error messages).  I inherited it and immediately declared it dead upon the 
arrival on scene by tcsh, which I then abandoned once I discovered bash, since 
I wanted to have a CLI which resembled my primary prototyping language.

Hah. I think I used ksh once in a goverment facility on some obcure SunOS environment.  I went to fix a printer driver and I got stuck with ksh and ed. No vi, no emacs, no csh, no sh.  Nothing.  It was rough... Thanks for listening.  How much I owe?
