I've noticed odd behavior in my csh.  It seems to reverse the
meanings of && and ||.  This can be illustrated easily.  I
type in,

    false (or whatever) && echo 'got to here'

and I get "got to here."  I've only heard of this happening
with old or buggy csh versions.  Is this what I am getting
with Xenix 2.3.2 (that's what I'm running)?

While I'm at it, does anyone have any recommendations as to
where I might find a copy of tcsh (or just a better csh) that
will run under Xenix?
