Me too, for at least ten years now. I couldn't imagine working without the Tenex C-shell. > The C-shell like shells are extremely unsuitable for > scripting; > you will easily find some writeups on why such shells > should be > avoided for scripting. Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call them "extremely unsuitable"; I've written a good deal of scripts in csh and never ran into any problems; however, I was careful to avoid potential pitfalls and strived to keep it simple and scalable. I do admit that when I script, I tend to default to /bin/ksh. Or even avoid all of that altogether and write pure `awk` code (#!/usr/bin/nawk -f -).
