Tcsh is a fine shell. I'm using it all the time (that's how I found out

bug which I could reproduce too).
I always found csh/tcsh aliases annoying, since there are no shell functions.
I also found the shell redirection awkward.
There;s one item that is much more easily done in csh/tcsh than in the
sh based ones .... that's redirecting the stderr along with the stdout.
with tcsh, when I do a make, I commonly do a:
make |& tee makeout
which causes both the stdout and stderr files to be redirected to the
"makeout" make listing file. I;'ve never figured out any reasonably
simple way to do that in any sh-like shell. Is there any simble way
that you know of?
It's ok otherwise, but I've since become addicted to bash. Mind you, I'm sure
some tcsh users could point out some features that bash doesn't have.
