Hello, when I started using Solaris, I used bash as probably most do that used Linux before. After some time I found out that there some issues with bash concerning compatibility with other shells. So I investigated the alternatives and finally started using the tcsh and stuck with it. After all the recent discussions concerning ksh and its different implementations and versions, I am now wondering if my decision was good...
Are there similar issues concerning csh/tcsh scripts when it comes to portability and different versions? Have csh and tcsh also been standardized like the ksh? I primarly decided for the tcsh as it is available by default in Solaris and Linux and has easy and convenient history and completion support. I didn't really expect portability problems concerning scripts. But then I didn't expect all those issues concerning different implementations of the ksh either. It would be great if someone could say something about this or point me to any useful document. I didn't really find anything helpful on opengroup.org.
