How many programs does this incompatability actually break? Realistically? If it hasn't been a problem in the last 4 years it makes me wonder if anyone is actually writing or using shell scripts written for this.
I think it is a mistake to say that just because this is the first time a complaint was make on hackers that this is the first time this has occured. The script I showed previously was pretty basic; easily capable of breaking many csh scripts. This is how it looks so far:
OpenBSD - works
NetBSD - works
Irix 6.5 - works
Sun OS - works
HPUX - not tried yet
AIX - not tried yet
FreeBSD - does not work (they knew better and renamed tcsh csh rather than just calling a spade a spade, some commit bit vandal got a hair to rename parts of the world for the sake of mankind.)
linux - not tried yet
I'm not opposed to adding a real csh to /bin, but if we're only adding it to work around a minor incompatability that few if any programs rely on I don't see it as being a necessity.
And the microsoft mentality lives on. God help freebsd.
