zsh has both csh (yep "c shell") and Bourne/Korn shell properties, for example, both 'limit' and 'ulimit' are builtins. You can tweak your environment and such to make it more csh-like or more sh-like. If you can find a copy of "UNIX in a Nutshell", it has a decent overview of sh vs. csh. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
