^^^^^^^ porting??
A straight port of a Unix tcsh will be a difficult task. Unix shells are,
almost by definition, filled with all sorts of Unix-specific things like job
control and terminal interfacing. However, I believe there are a variety of
csh-like shells for DOS floating around (unfortunately, none built with
DJGPP AFAIK :( ). Look in the `sysutl' directory of a Simtelnet mirror.
