Hi.

Assuming you have bash installed:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
# cshtobash - convert csh aliases, environment variables, and variables to
#             bash equivalents
#
# usage: cshtobash [filename]
#
# If filename is given, that file is sourced.  Note that csh always
# sources .cshrc.  To recreate your csh login environment, run
# `cshtobash ~/.login'.
#
# Inspired by (and some borrowed from) a similar program distributed with
# zsh-3.0.

excerpt from /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/misc/cshtobash

My system context:
Code:
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.26-2-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny)

Chet's script might be a start for you.

Good luck ... cheers, drl
