The article proves the first part of my statement to be quite... accurate, as the C shell really has some specific syntax - redirection and grouping are typical issues. But well, that's not a big problem as the C shell does not claim to be command-line compatible to (ba)sh. > I see from this you are not prone to confuse programming with an > interactive user shell. I'm old enough not to be cheated that easily. :-) Everyone is wrong! "pfmsh" is the best at everything, period. It does ever= ything you can possibly think of today and tomorrow. It doesn't require an= y upgrades, ever. It's 100% secure. It doesn't use any memory or other re= sources, $hit, it doesn't even need to be installed; it just "magically" wo= rks. There you have it.
