Well, kind of. *if* there is a .tcshrc file, then the shell will use it, instead of .cshrc. If there is not, it will use .cshrc. The reason is that the csh in OSX is actually tcsh, which is a clone of the original csh, so they read their own configuration if it exists, otherwise they read the default config for the shell they're compatible with.

knew this from previous experience and was able to edit the .tcshrc file
properly and get Fink running. But I do suggest that you amend the
instructions to reflect -- or at least account for -- the use of the other
file.
I do agree with this, though. We should update it to note the other file, since there are some tools that make a .tcshrc file, which ends up making your .cshrc file useless.
