Co., Everett, WA Lines: 7 Sendbug is also a 'csh' script. This causes problems if your subject line happens to contain any special characters - $, ~, etc. csh will barf if you try to post a message to net.bugs.4bsd with one of these characters in the subject line. All distributed shell scripts should use the Bourne shell. csh is an absolutely horrible programming language and should only be used for an interactive shell!!! /Joe
