Message-ID: <1668@umn-cs.UUCP> Date: Sat, 20-Jun-87 01:41:35 EDT Article-I.D.: umn-cs.1668 Posted: Sat Jun 20 01:41:35 1987 Date-Received: Mon, 22-Jun-87 04:56:19 EDT Reply-To: amit@umn-cs.UUCP (Neta Amit) Distribution: world Organization: University of Minnesota Lines: 25 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 ? --Neta Amit, U of Minnesota CSci
