Yay! Works! This is the shell that find was meant for.

csh% find /tmp -name foo >& /dev/null
csh%

Bastard BSD shell sucks dead goats.

I use csh because I prefer a couple of csh' features: the !?foo?:3 style
command line editing I like better than UP UP UP UP LEFT LEFT LEFT LEFT
too far RIGHT ... cursor-key histories. And ~/this and ~whoever/that...

But that's about it.

Unfortunately there isn't a bourne shell that's JUST got the good parts
of CSH without boatloads of evil feeping creatures.

So... don't rant about find, rant about csh and about the bash/zsh/foosh
bastard developers who don't see "small" as a feature.
