Reading some of the recent postings to comp.sources.misc, there seems to be a
**GREAT** demand for "csh prompt generators" of various kinds, with various
preferences built in/out/around/etc.

I don't know how other people on the net think about this flood of prompt
generators, each with some very special bells and whistles; in my opinion,
there are too many! Why don't people wanting sophisticated prompt just use
shells like tcsh which allow you to do really fancy things to your prompts?
