== Link: Csh Programming Considered Harmful Tom Christiansen's [[Csh Programming Considered Harmful http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/shell/csh-whynot/]] used to be posted to various Usenet comp.unix groups, nigh on ten years ago or so. I consider it sort of a pity that it isn't still being posted, because every so often someone still decides that writing shell scripts in _csh_ would be a good idea. Some of the problems Christiansen identified have since been fixed by modern versions of _tcsh_, but not all of them. (The article can also serve as an interesting catalog of _sh_ programming tricks.)
