This is tcsh version 6.03.  Tcsh is a version of the Berkeley
C-Shell, with the addition of: a command line editor, command and file
name completion, listing, etc. and a bunch of small additions to the
shell itself.

Tcsh runs on BSD 4.2 and 4.3 Unix, Mach, Sun Unix (tested on 3.0, 3.2,
3.4, 4.0, 4.1.x), Pyramid OS/X (in the bsd universe), Encore UMAX 4.2,
Apple A/UX 2.0, AT&T 3b machines under SysV.2 and V.3, HP/UX 6.2 on
series 300 and 800 machines and all HP machines under HP/UX 6.5, 7.0
and 8.0 and will probably work with a bit of tinkering on anything else
either BSD or SysV-ish. It also runs under VMS/POSIX and OS/2+emx.
Note that the above list is incomplete, and the place to look is the
config directory to find a configuration file
appropriate for your machine.

Feel free to use it.  These changes to csh may only be included in a
commercial product if the inclusion or exclusion does not change the
purchase price, level of support, etc.  Please respect the individual
authors by giving credit where credit is due (in other words, don't
claim that you wrote portions that you haven't, and don't delete the
names of the authors from the source code or documentation).  

To install tcsh:

1)  Look at the Makefile and make sure that you are using the right
    compilation flags.

2)  Copy the appropriate for your machine and OS config file from the
    config subdirectory into config.h. If you are trying to compile
    tcsh on a machine for which there is no config file yet, you will
    need to create a config file using as a template one of the
    supplied ones.  If you get tcsh working on a new machine, I'd
    appreciate a copy of the config file plus additional information
    about the architecture/OS.  If you are creating a new config file,
    look very hard at BSDJOBS, BSDSIGS, and BSDTIMES if you are running
    a non-BSD machine.  For vanila SysV, these would all be #undef-ed,
    but others may vary (such as A/UX or HPUX).  On a pyramid, compile
    in the UCB universe even if you are running under the ATT universe
    usually; it will work anyway, and you get job control for free.


3)  Look at config_f.h, and enable or disable any features you want.
    It is configured the way I like it, but you may disagree.
    If you do not have NLS, then locale.h will not be found. Undefine it
    and things should work ok. On the other hand, if you have NLS you
    might as well use it...

4)  Look at tc.vers.c to make sure that you have the right #ifdefs to set
    the environment variable "HOSTTYPE" correctly.  If you need to make
    changes, PLEASE SEND THEM BACK TO ME.

5)  You may want to adjust the DESTDIR and DESTMAN entries in the
    Makefile.  These are the directories that tcsh, and the tcsh.1 man
    entry will be placed in when you do a "make install".  If you decide
    to install tcsh somewhere other than in /usr/local/bin/tcsh, you should
    #define _PATH_TCSHELL "/your/installation/directory/tcsh" in pathnames.h.

6)  make

7)  Read the documentation while you are waiting.  The file tcsh.man
    is in standard [nt]roff -man format.

8)  Test tcsh to see that it has compiled correctly.  The history
    command should give a time stamp on every entry.  Typing normal
    characters should echo each exactly once.  Control-A should put the
    cursor at the beginning of the input line, but after the prompt.
    Typing characters after that should insert them into the line.
    If you have job control make sure that stopping and restarting
    jobs works. Make sure you can ^C in the middle of the input line.
    Also make sure that pipelines work correctly and there
    are no races. Try 'echo | cat | cat | cat | cat | more' a couple
    of times. If you have job control, try this command in the background
    and bring it in the foreground when it stops for tty output. 
    Also make sure that the ioctl() modes are preserved.
    Get into vi, enter and exit input mode and suspend it, background
    it and foreground it again. After all that, lastly make sure that
    the tty process group manipulation is happening correctly. Try
    ftp to some host. If your passwd appears on the screen, you have
    lost /dev/tty. Otherwise everything is fine. 

9)  Enjoy.

10) PLEASE send any bug reports (and fixes), code for new features,
    comments, questions, etc. (even flames) to:

***************************************************************************

On sysv versions < 3.0 (not hpux) Doug Gwyn's public domain directory 
manipulation library has to be installed. This library is available
for anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/dirent.tar.Z
If the network is not installed, then there is a gethostname()
routine is tc.os.c, enabled by defining NEEDgethostname

***************************************************************************

On BSDreno, in ttyname() closedir() is called twice and so the same
pointer gets free'd twice. tcsh's malloc is picky and it prints an
error message to that effect. If you don't like the message:

1. Apply the following patch:

*** /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/ttyname.c.orig	Fri Jun  1 17:17:15 1990
--- /usr/src/lib/libc/gen/ttyname.c	Tue Oct 29 16:33:12 1991

  			continue;

  		rval = buf;
  		break;
  	}

Or: Comment the error printing out in tc.alloc.c
Or: Compile -DSYSMALLOC


***************************************************************************

Tcsh has been ported to minix by  Scott Krotz (krotz@honey.rtsg.mot.com).
Unfortunately the minix sed is broken, so you'll have to find a way to
make tc.const.h, sh.err.h, ed.defns.h which are automatically generated.
The easiest way to create them is to make a copy from unix, copying 
config.minix to config.h, and then 'make sh.err.h tc.const.h ed.defns.h'

The OS/dependent files are in mi.termios.h, mi.wait.h, mi.varargs.h

You will get some warnings, but dont worry about them, just ignore
them.  After tcsh has compiled and the gcc binary is converted to a
minix binary, remember to chmem it to give it more memory - it will
need it!  How much you need depends on how many aliases you have, etc..
Add at least 50000 to it.

One last thing.  You might have to make some links for include files so
that they are in the directories that tcsh is expecting while compiling.
I forget if I had to do this or not, but it should be fairly easy to sort
out.  If it cant find any include files this is probably the reason.

If you have any problems, please tell me.  I can be contacted through
e-mail at:

krotz@honey.rtsg.mot.com

I also read comp.os.minix on a regular basis, so a note there will get
my attention also.

Have fun!

Scott Krotz

ps.  The termios functions are provided by Magnus Doell and Bruce Evans.
     Thanks, guys!


This is for minix 1.5 (straight out of the box from P-H) plus the i386
patches from Bruce Evans.

I cross-compiled on a Sun using gcc 2.1 with a target of i386-bsd
(using the minix include files instead of the bsd versions), and then
linked the resulting object files with similarly compiled crtso.o and
libc.a on vax (little endian) using a hacked version of ld which I put
together to generate minix executables instead of bsd a.out format.
What a kludge ...

I compiled with -O2 -Wall ...  So far I haven't noticed any problems
with the optimizer.

In case anyone is contemplating compiling tcsh with bcc (Bruce Evan's
i386 compiler that comes with the minix386 upgrade package), don't bother.
It is some serious bugs that kill tcsh when compiled for 16-bit characters.
I can provide more details of bugs that I noticed for brave souls who want
to try, but it would be hard (and why bother if you can get gcc?).

I can make the binary available to anyone who wants it (for example people
who can't get access to a cross-compiling environment, and who don't yet
have gcc running under minix).
