The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* tcsh-6.21.00-1
This is a bug fix release (after 2.5 years) with no new features.
Tcsh is an enhanced but completely compatible version of csh, the C
shell. Tcsh is a command language interpreter which can be used both
as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor.
Tcsh includes a command line editor, programmable word completion,
spelling correction, a history mechanism, job control and a C language
like syntax.

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

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?
