Hi.

On the system I use, tcsh has its own man page, which includes this description:
Quote:
The NEW FEATURES section describes major enhancements of tcsh over csh(1).
Throughout this manual, features of tcsh not found in most csh(1)
implementations (specifically, the 4.4BSD csh) are labeled with `(+)',
and features which are present in csh(1) but not usually documented are
labeled with `(u)'.
So if you have that, you can find the differences as noted.

On a Linux system I use, csh is a symbolic link to tcsh. On a Solaris box, they are different (i.e. they have different lengths).

A quick Google search for man tcsh includes an online man page for one version of tcsh at http://www.tcsh.org/tcsh.html/top.html ... cheers, drl
