I hope I'm wrong too - this information comes from an IBM Personal Computer
Announcements sheet.  This sheet is not for public distribution, hence they
may not have checked it over carefully.  The curses and csh appear in their
respective systems under the same headig: "Several popular Berkeley
extensions," so I suspect they just got mixed up.
