There are at least two sort of command shell under Unix. The "Bourne shells" (like sh, bash, zsh) and the "C shells" (like csh, tcsh). These two kind of shells have their own advantages and disavantages. In Bourne shell, one sets an environment variable by issuing the command : -> VARIABLE=VALUE -> export VARIABLE and in recent bourne shell : -> export VARIABLE=VALUE In C shell, one sets an environment variable by issuing the command : -> setenv VARIABLE VALUE My preference goes to "zsh", but the person who started writing this tutorial used csh... This is really a user choice. You could also write some aliases to use any of the previous syntax. See your prefered shell manual. > Also could someone please announce to the group when Yagle becomes available > shortly. The latest known date is Oct 1, 2000 -- Best regards.
