My thanks to Partha S. Banerjee, Scott Bolte, Paul Placeway, Dave Schweisguth, Tim P. Starrin, Kimmo Suominen, Paul A. Vixie, and Christos Zoulas for reviewing the manuscript. Reviewer comments materially improved the content of this handbook. Tim Starrin suggested the section on read-only shell variables and provided the text on which it was based.
The members of the tcsh developer's mailing list provided assistance by discussing and clarifying several issues that I found confusing while writing. Dave Schweisguth was especially helpful in this regard; as the main force behind the current version of the tcsh manual page, he's familiar with the difficulties of trying to explain tcsh's features clearly.
Mary Kay Sherer cast her skeptical eye over my sometimes dubious prose, ferreting out and correcting many paraverbal constructions.
Adrian Nye served as general editor, but more than that, Adrian originated the idea for the book, then provided the guidance and encouragement that made it a reality. My thanks also to other O'Reilly staff, including Len Muellner, Nor m Walsh, Sheryl Avruch, Kismet McDonough, Seth Maislin, Kiersten Nauman, Juliette Muellner, and Chris Reilley.
Finally, I appreciate the willingness of my wife, Karen, to accommodate the writing of another book, and for providing the occasional necessary reminder to let the keyboard cool off for a while. She also assisted the writing process by discussing with me the structure, approach, and content of the book. These thinking-out-loud sessions were invaluable in shaping Using csh & tcsh into its present form.
