It seems like the tendency is turning in favor of switching to tcsh...
I'm gonna regret this but ...while people are in this discussion may I
bring again the nawk vs gawk discussion?
nawk has it's roots in the real UNIX, is under a liberal license, is
maintained by one of the guys that invented UNIX, and is not as bloated
and buggy as gawk.
I understand it has less features than gawk, but if OpenBSD could live
without those I don't see why we can't.
cheers,
Pedro.
