I spoke to soon when I said the binaries I had worked under Ultrix 4.0.
I just switched over to hesiod this weekend, and people who were using the
tcsh started complaining that something was up. 

I traced the problem to the fact that ~ expansion was broke, since tcsh
was compiled under 3.1 the password routines didn't know about hesiod.
After re-compiling tcsh under Ultrix 4.0, it works fine with hesiod.
tcsh under risc Ultrix dumped core the first time I ran it, and 
I traced it down to changing 'char **environ;' to 'extern char **environ'
in sh.func.c. It now runs fine.

I have now created the following in ~ftp/pub/bin@vela.acs.oakland.edu:

tcsh.3.1.mips	tcsh.3.1.vax	tcsh.4.0.mips	tcsh.4.0.vax	tcsh.l

ps. What was the final status on giving out tcsh binaries? legal? 
illegal? Mine where built form BSD 4.3 sources, and not Ultrix sources.
