Does anyone have config files/source changes/etc to get tcsh v6.02 to
compile on an DEC Alpha system running OSF/1? I've made a stab at
it, but the compile dies right away in tc.os.h where it defines
sigpause().

Thanks,

Look on gatekeeper.dec.com for some already ported programs. tcsh is
one of them. Look in /.1/DEC/Alpha/apps

Thanks to everyone who pointed me to the tcsh sources on gatekeeper.dec.com
in pub/DEC/Alpha/apps.

Available as pub/DEC/Alpha/apps/tcsh-6.02.tar.Z.

Nobody will believe this, but I took a Makefile created by imake on a
SunOs 4.1.2, and copied to the osf/1 box, and the compile went perfectly.
It has worked to this day without crashing once.

Seems that OSF run-time libs looks a lot like SunOs run-time libs.

the .1 is arbitrary and subject to change. use /pub/DEC/Alpha/apps,
which is permanent. if i'd had disk striping back when i began gatekeeper's
ftp archive, the .1 would not be neccessary. with 6GB online i'm not
exactly itching to back it all up and restore onto a striped set.
