The files in this directory can be installed and merged into your home directory Unix environment to implement an integration between a tcsh command line shell and a vshnu (or vsh) visual shell (as a sort of supplemental visual mode to tcsh). It's all rather kludgy, but they're shiny, polished and well-tested kludges :-) Each file here contains its own instructions on what to do with and about it. "precmd" and "penv" will implement quick aliases to switch to vshnu while communicating information between the shells. "lo" provides one convenient way to exit tcsh without having to exit vshnu explicitly as well. "vshnu.tcsh.diff" is an optional patch file for the tcsh sources, which will suppress cluttering messages when suspending from vshnu back to tcsh. Here's a tcsh prompt setting for your ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc file that looks nice with vshnu: if ( $uid == 0 ) then set prompt = '%{\e[41m%}%m:%. #%{\e[0m%} ' else set prompt = '%S%m:%.%s ' endif ======================================================================== Steve Kinzler November 2000 http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler
