I'd recomend against that. I'm a long-time tcsh user (I think I've almost
hit the 10 year mark), and I don't program in it. It's rather gross to
program.

Just because you use tcsh as your shell doesn't mean scripts can't use sh,
ksh, or bash. :-)

I'd suggest trying ksh, and see if it works. i.e. change /bin/bash to
/bin/ksh. If that doesn't work, install the bash shell, and chagne
/bin/bash to /usr/pkg/bin/bash.

Take care,
