  We have reinstalled all man pages on the system. This means that man
  pages which are nolonger relevant, are not installed. tcsh? What's that?
  We only have csh and sh installed on this system.

To avoid any confusion, I should add that the csh(1) man page has the
following comment at the top:

     csh - a shell (command interpreter) with C-like syntax con-
     taining optional line editing features from the T shell
     tcsh(1)

However, the manual page does not seem to mention some of the features
that /paris/source/4.3/bin/tcsh/tcsh.1 has in it.  Examples of these
features that are not documented in csh(1) are the keymap redefinitions,
and the shell variables, such as "lineedit".

I will agree with Ezra that there should be no tcsh(1) on the system
since there is no program by that name on the packs.
