P.P.P.P.S. Why are you using tcsh anyway? With a choice of perfectly
usable (if not, unfortunately, actually perfect) shells such as zsh or
bash, there's no excuse for using a csh derivative. Heck, there's even
ksh-93 if you're really keen.

As to the location, maybe someone didn't see where it was and decide on
a better place. Maybe two people independently wondered where to put it
and came up with different solutions.

Of course, one of them therefore must be wrong, and since the shell
should always be in /bin it should be obvious who was the dunce.

Cheers,

Martin.
