Dear Netlanders,

On our former Sun 3 facility, we quite happily used the enhanced csh (known
in some circles as newcsh) sent out as a batch of diffs to the 4.2 BSD csh
by Ken Greer of HP Labs.  We also have tcsh, but many users prefer newcsh,
which simply extends the csh by adding autologout after a user-specifiable
amount of idle time, command name completion, and file name completion.

Ken doesn't seem to be at HP any more (where are you?).  Does anyone know
of an updated version of this program, perhaps built upon the 4.3 BSD csh?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Cheerio, Rick Rodgers
