- Ugh. Please don't use these patches. 6.01 was poorly ported (my fault)
- and this patch only adds more kludges on kludges (sorry). Rather, get the
- (long since) ported version of tcsh 6.02 from any site that mirrored
- good old banjo.concert.net. All you need to do for GCC 2.2.2d is to
- comment out the emulated sigsetmask() from tc.sig.h and tc.sig.c.
- I haven't made a new release, because the the change is so trivial.
- Oh, there is also a little patch that fixes the signal list.
- Btw, there are also new binaries floating around. Could someone
- give a pointer to where these can be found?
-
- I'd like to see proper support for locales, wait3() and/or wait4(),
- before making a new release. This requires changes both in the kernel
- and the libraries.
