Summary: csh for VMS (well, sort of)


	After a coworker got very tired of listening to me grouse about
how terrible VMS is (I guess he had a hard time getting work done with all
the noise I was making), he wrote a csh simulator for VMS.  Now, it is
VERY crude and somewhat fragile but it certainly helps me work on the
machine.  What it does:

	redirection 			< and >
	multiple commands/line		com1 ; com2
	history with substitution	(matches spaces too)
	ls, cat

What it doesn't:

	pipes (sigh)

Because of the ; being used as a seperator, you must ref version numbered
files like foo.bar.5 raterh than foo.bar;5.  If there is interest, I could
try to post it (I'll have to call him first, he no longer works here).
