I mean that using C shell is not civilized, not reclaimed from the savage
life, rude, barbarous, savage; as in "the C shell provides an uncivilized
language with petty constraints and the inability to do i/o redirection
with the same generality that the Bourne/Korn shell family of languages
provides".
How much clearer could I be? Did you read the 'C Shell Programming
Considered Harmful' document I sent you previously? If so, you know why I
consider C Shell uncivilized. If not, why not? Just for good measure, I'm
sending it again, mainly because I am also sending this reply to the
comp.databases.informix news group -- you intended your message to go there
too, but the email address is informix-list@iiug.org, not at iiur.org.
I am not going to respond to this again -- the subject is closed. You
don't have to agree with me that the C Shell is uncivilized. However, I
retain the right to hold to my view that it is uncivilized, and to express
this view when the occasion arises.

I mean that C shell is uncivilized.

The following periodic article answers in excruciating detail
the frequently asked question "Why shouldn't I program in csh?".
It is available for anon FTP from convex.com in /pub/csh.whynot .
=09 *** CSH PROGRAMMING CONSIDERED HARMFUL ***
Resolved: The csh is a tool utterly inadequate for programming,
=09 and its use for such purposes should be strictly banned!
I am continually shocked and dismayed to see people write test cases,
