definitely. Most environment, certainly.


Anecdote: i was helping a friend at U once... things that had to start a
shell (like script) were *amazingly* slow compared to what I was used to.=20
Turned out he had a whole bunch of stuff in his .cshrc that should've been
in his .login.  Rearranged things a little, *poof*, everything worked the
same for him except much faster :)  'course that was on a VAX, with the
zippety hardware now, who cares? ;)
