Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2002 01:43:35 -0400 From: Arthur Alinovi I'll start by saying up front that I am just a unix beginner who has started experimenting with zsh. So far, I'm very impressed by what I see. However, a friend of mine (who is a bit of a unix wizard) uses tcsh and is curious as to what zsh can do that tcsh couldn't do if he wrote a 500 line .cshrc file (which is what a lot of the .zshrc files I've found on the web seem to be). I mean, some of these files go on for pages and pages. If someone who really knows this stuff could give me a few "zsh is better that tcsh, because..." I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
