Corinna, Igor,

I wonder what this means:

% ll /bin/{t,}csh.exe
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None       251904 Dec 25  2001 /bin/csh.exe*
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None       284672 Feb 11 12:16 /bin/tcsh.exe*


% cygcheck csh
Found: D:\cygwin\bin\csh.exe
D:\cygwin\bin\csh.exe
   D:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses6.dll
     D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
       D:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
         D:\WINNT\System32\ntdll.dll


The Cygwin package content list for the "tcsh" package doesn't mention 
"csh -> tcsh.exe" or "csh.exe".

Perhaps at some point I copied /bin/tcsh.exe to /bin/csh.exe? Or maybe 
an ealier form of the package included csh.exe?
