I mailed Arun a copy of Chris Robertson's "bcsh" Bourne shell script
that emulates the C shell, which was posted in December 1985.

If you have an AT&T UNIX System V Release 2 or later source license,
contact me for information about obtaining the "BRL Bourne shell"
which includes support for all sorts of modern goodies along the
general lines of "tcsh" (Tenex-like C shell) except in a Bourne
shell setting.  It doesn't have all the Korn shell built-in string
and arithmetic support, though.

P.S.  Several of you are still waiting for your copy of this shell,
which I promised to mail earlier.  I just fixed an annoying bug
while adding the last feature that one of our main tcsh users
claimed was necessary before he could switch shells.  The backlog
of BRL Bourne shells and/or System V emulations for 4.3BSD should
be mailed out in the next few days.  Really!
