Product:
Using csh and tcsh
($24.95)

E-mail: nuts@ora.com
URL: http://www.ora.com/
Description:
Available now by Paul DuBois, this is the latest Nutshell Handbook for
Unix users. csh (C shell) is the standard shell, or command
interpreter, on most Unix systems, and tcsh is an enhanced version
that's freely available. This book focuses on improving efficiency by
using these shells interactively at the command line, rather than
writing shell scripts. Interactive use is also emphasized over
scripting and programming because such tasks are better done with a
different shell, such as sh (the Bourne shell) or a language like Perl.
