I saw an ad some months ago in the back of Dr. Dobbs Journal from a little one-man outfit somewhere in Iowa advertising a full C-shell for DOS for fifty bucks. I have no other information on this one. I am using Allen Holub's "unix-like shell", which is available for around forty bucks from M&T Publishing (publishers of DDJ). The package includes not only a good-sized book about the shell, usage and design, but also full source. This is NOT a csh clone, but was inspired by it, and inclujdes many of the same kinds of features, including aliases and history, and a much better script language than DOS's standard one (but NOT csh compatible). I find that it is sufficiently unix-like as to make DOS a much less unfriendly environment. Fred
