- The easy solution is to live with it. If you can afford it, buy the
- ksh. It knows better.

        Or you can pick up a version of tcsh (version 5.12) that I
ported to ISC 2.0.2 from osu-cis/tut.cis.ohio-state.edu.  It should be
in the tcsh binaries section, but it may still be in the incoming
directory..

        tcsh is an extended C shell with emacs/vi command line editing,
filename and command completion, and more.  The binary has been tested
on ISC 2.0.2, SCO Unix, and Microport Unix and should work on most of
the rest of the Unix/386 products.  It lacks job control (having been
built on a 2.0.2 machine) and has a minor bug with respect to pipeline
completion.
