%T   "Using csh and tcsh"
 
The C shell (csh) is neither the oldest nor the most widely used of the UNIX
shells.  It is not well suited to the writing of shell scripts.  csh *is*,
however, a very flexible and functional tool for the interactive user.  As UNIX
becomes more popular beyond the highly technical audience it has seen
heretofore, the use of csh, and the enhanced tcsh, will likely become
significant.
 
DuBois has prepared a most suitable introduction to these shells.  Well paced,
the book concentrates on their interactive aspects and strengths.  The logical
organization and copious examples allow readers to follow along and "learn by
doing".
 
A worthy companion to Rosenblatt's "Using the Korn Shell" (cf. BKKRNSHL.RVW),
this is a valuable addition to O'Reilly's UNIX library.
