It is a C/C++ scripting language. I may not think it as a new language. For example, you can run the following standard C code in Ch:: ====================================== #!/bin/ch #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello world\n"); } ======================================== > > > >There are many C/C++ users who may sometimes write some shell scripts > >for quick job.

I agree. but perl, ruby, python, lua and tcsh are a different language for C/C++ users. > > >BTW, I am not sure what you mean that win32 is supported by tcsh. > > > > > well.

I tried a couple of gnuwin32 binary, it runs fine without using the tcsh, it can run in msdos or any other shells.
