Check the manual page for each shell, and you'll see that there's a method to find the version...

e.g.

Code:

tcsh> echo $version
tcsh 6.11.00 (Astron) 2001-09-02 (sparc-sun-solaris) options 8b,nls,dl,al,rh,color
bash> bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (sparc-sun-solaris)

...etc...

Cheers

rpm -qa |grep mc
rpm -qa |grep pdksh
rpm -qa |grep tcsh
rpm -qa |grep zsh

to see the versions
