- We've been using tcsh for several years and it is just about everybodies
- default shell. It is very stable and full featured. I install all new
- accounts with tcsh but for those more adventurous, we have zsh which has
- even more little toys. Sources and man pages for both are available on
- ftp.
- Good luck.
