I know of at least 5 (five) different implementations of csh-like 
shells, with command- and file-completion, and/or with emacs-like
command line editing. These are: ncsh, newtcsh, tcsh, itcsh and 
mcsh. While some share ancestors, there are differences in the
implementation, features, and (particularly) buggy status.
I'm trying to pick the best in the pack, but have access only to
three out of the five.

I'd be very greatful if you

(1) tell me about other implementations
(2) share your experience
(3) let me know if and how I can FTP, thru any of the
    major networks (arpanet, csnet, bitnet, usenet).

Please mail directly to  amit@umn-cs.arpa. I'll
summarize to the net.


I searched the mod.sources archive at purdue (aka
comp.sources.unix). How come there are 3 zillion
 editors and (almost) no shells ?
