Hi Peter,

How goes it with csh? There is a new release of Kaffe out and I would like to try building it under OS4 if I can.

Well, I am working on NAS (albeit slowly) - so I really have no idea of the status of csh. When I investigated it, I found that it:

1) Depended on clib/compiler internals. 2) Was an incomplete implementation.

The consensus at the time was that it would be easier to write a small csh-script intepreter than to update the old csh or trying to use the ixemul-dependant tcsh port.

In what way does Kaffe depend on csh?
