- Since source code for csh is included in BSD 4.3, you can always get it and
- modify it at your own taste. Or if you want more modern code, you can always
- get tcsh || zsh. At least the later does allow centralized profiles in /etc.
- Personally I don't like centralized files much because they tend to do nasty
- things to one's terminal and mess up rsh :(. Why not just setting up new
- accounts with startup files that read default ones?
-
- Of course this is not an answer to original question, but do you really want
- bundled programs to be the best? ;O
