Over the last...10+ years, my .cshrc file has travelled with me
from job to job, platform to platform and generally just grows
as it needs to find exes in each place...this is what it currently is:
foreach i ( ~/bin{,/$arch.$rev} /krb5/bin /opt/ansic/bin /bin \
/krb5/sbin /sbin /etc /usr/bin /usr/ccs/bin /bin /usr/dist/exe \
/usr/local/sbin
/opt/{hpnp,local,gnu,sfw,CTEact,SUNWspro,jdk}/bin \
/opt/SUNWspro/SOS8/bin )
if ( -d $i ) then
set path=($path $i)
if ($?prompt) echo -n "$i ";
endif
end
foreach i (
/usr/{sbin,proc/bin,bsd,ucb,local}/{sbin,rcs,bin/{,nn,mh},etc}} )
if ( -d $i ) then
set path=($path $i)
if ($?prompt) echo -n "$i ";
endif
end
foreach i ( /usr/{pkg,sfw,proc}/bin /usr/{X11{,R5,R6}/bin,etc,XFree86/bin} \
/usr/bin/X11 /usr/contrib/bin/X11 /usr/{games,hosts,acad/acad} )
if ( -d "$i" ) then
set path=($path $i)
if ($?prompt) echo -n "$i ";
endif
end
foreach i ( /krb5/admin /users/public/{scripts,acad_train} \
/usr/openwin/{bin,demo} )
if ( -d $i ) then
set path=($path $i)
if ($?prompt) echo -n "$i ";
endif
end
foreach i ( /usr/cpu/sysgen/root/usr/{sbin,bin} /usr/contrib/Q4/bin \
/opt/{FOREatm,tusc,ipf,java,optimation}/bin \
/opt/{imake,langtools}/bin )
if ( -d "$i" ) then
set path=($path $i)
if ($?prompt) echo -n "$i ";
endif
endif
end
foreach i ( /usr/{freeware,contrib}/bin
/emul/sunos/usr/{openwin,local}/bin \
/usr/contrib/win32/bin /opt/onbld/bin )
if ( -d $i ) then
set path=($path $i)
if ($?prompt) echo -n "$i ";
endif
end
rehash
if ($?prompt) echo "";
...and that excludes things to find tools to build Solaris.
Now explain to me why we need to add another directory rather
than just populate one directory more fully?

p.s. there are too many path components for one foreach().
