   You may be able to obtain a Sun binary if you fish around a little.  I'm
   not sure that such distribution is entirly kosher, but I've heard that
   it's not too hard to find.

Distributing the binary is legal.  Copies are on ftp.uu.net in
pub/tcsh.  Personally I prefer the GNU shell bash which has all the
major features of tcsh but comes with the plus of not having to worry
about keeping the csh source from prying eyes, finding the right
version of csh against which to apply the tcsh changes, etc.  It's a
ksh/sh compatible shell, so it's rather nice for those of use who
typically write /bin/sh scripts, but it also has things like a nice
csh-like history, nicer aliases and other goodies.  About the only
thing that bash really lacks is good documentation.
