more Ultrix 3.1c notes...

This one doesn't show up in the release notes:

1) When you install the 3.1C tape, what used to be /usr/new/csh is installed
   as /bin/csh (presumably because of the quoting problems with the 3.x csh).
   This is the version that has command completion, command line retrieval/
   editing and idle autologout.

   It seems to work pretty well as /bin/csh, but you may want to warn your
   users that funny things will happen if they type escape and that they
   have to put "unset autologout" in their .login files if they want to
   disable the auto-logout.

   You may also want to create a link from /usr/new/csh to /bin/csh for
   compatibility's sake.

2) As in prevous 3.x releases, /bin/mail is actually a link to /usr/bin/mail.
   If users have /usr/bin before /usr/ucb in their search path, they will
   get the wrong version of mail. 

   To avoid this, you can either fix all their .xyz files or move mail
   either back to /bin or perhpaps to /usr/etc.
