I'm not sure if what I have is what you want, but...
Here at Duke, a few of us have developed a set of C programs which have been
running on AT&T 3b2's (SysV).  The programs incorporate a history feature,
an alias mechanism, file completion keys, a nice history editor (not the
cshell "!" garbage), and some other stuff.  It's not really a cshell at all,
but rather a simulator.  It has its deficiencies, too; mainly, it creates
temporary files which sometimes cause ugly error messages like:

/tmp/cshell4033: foo: command not found

Nothing spectacular, but if you're interested, I'd be happy to pass a couple
of versions along.
