i spent a ton of time writing csh scripts when i was on co-op at parametric. the entire regression testing framework for pro-engineer is written as csh scripts, and as a lowly QA intern i got to experience the joy of extending parts of it...

lets just say i don't write scripts in csh anymore, not under any circumstance.
