I think this is true.  Thanks for posting yours as an example.  At the
risk of starting a flame war, though, giving csh scripting examples is
not kind.

Those who have not read Tom Christensen's "Csh Programming Considered
Harmful" should do so ASAP.  It is frequently posted to news.answers,
and is also avaiable at:

	ftp://perl.com/pub/perl/versus/csh-whynot.gz

If you still program in csh after reading that, well, ... (I've
had too many production systems brought down when people put csh
syntax into sh scripts or vice versa.)

Perhaps someone with a /bin/sh adduser script could post it?  (My
versions are scattered over my last several sites; they're all
different and site specific.)
