I'm not sure what Tim is using, but it isn't the "free'd" Reno distribution.
The csh directory in the source tree includes csh.1, pathnames.h and doprnt.c --
hardly enough to build csh!

You cannot build tcsh without having csh sources.  You currently cannot get csh
sources without having an BSD source license.  You cannot get a BSD source
license without having an ATT source license.

It is possible that csh will show up in part of the free'd BSD sources when 4.4
comes out.  This will not be a full Unix release, just stuff known to not have
AT&T licensing restrictions.
