Creating a file in csh

[L. R. DuBroff]

It has been noted by many respondents that "touch filename" will not
create an empty file if filename exists.

Touch(1) has another "gotcha!", at least in all UNIX(tm) systems
that I have used.  You may say "touch [-amc] [time_date] filename",
where time_date is a numerical string that indicates the time and
date to which you want to reset the access or modification (default)
time of the file (-c prevents file creation if filename did not exist).
Thus, "touch 12345" will NOT create an empty file named 12345, but will
instead return:

	date: bad conversion

In order to use touch to create an empty file named 12345, you need to
say:  "touch ./12345"
