You (probably) have tcsh instead. It is an enhanced version of csh.
You should have a symlink to tcsh in place of csh. If you don't have
either then you will need to install it from your slackware disk sets.
Alternately, you can download the source and compile it yourself.
Good luck,

Heath

Try typing 'exec csh' or create a user that uses csh (this adds csh to
the end of the entry in the passwd file, instead of sh or bash, etc.).

Works for me.

it seems those slackers would already have done this, but try:

>ln -s /bin/tcsh /bin/csh

tcsh is backward compatible with csh unless you're a guru and in my 
opinion far better.
