Is there a good reason not to change
if ((! $?NOCALLS) && (-r ~/.path)) then
source ~/.path # User-specified path
else
set path=($HOME/$bindir $athena_path .) # Standard Athena path
endif
in the global cshrc to be
set path=($HOME/$bindir $athena_path .) # Standard Athena path
if ((! $?NOCALLS) && (-r ~/.path)) then
source ~/.path # User-specified path
endif
That way, the .path file can either work like it has been, making the
path from $athena_path and other stuff, or it can mutate $path
directly. I believe this will be backward-compatible.
