People,
<p>
In an attempt to minimize login difficulties for users when hopping
around our many UNIX platforms, some useful login scripts have been
placed in <tt>/usr/local/etc</tt> of each platform for all to use.
<p>
These scripts will work for users of tcsh and csh.  (Users of bash,
the few of you there are, are still on their own at the moment.)
<p>
To make use of these more comprehensive scripts, you may edit your
<tt>.login</tt> and <tt>.cshrc</tt> files to look like these:
<p>
<tt>.login :
<p>
#<br>
# start of text<br>
#<br>
source /usr/local/etc/login<br>
#<br>
# end of text<br>
#<br>
<p>
.chsrc :<p>
#<br>
# start of text<br>
#<br>
source /usr/local/etc/cshrc<br>
#<br>
# end of text<br>
#<br>
</tt>
<p>
The cshrc script makes provision for you to initalize personal aliases
and the PRINTER variable by sourcing a file <tt>'$HOME/.cshrc.custom'</tt>
should you choose to create it.
<p>
This script will also set up the basic latex environment which can be
modified if you know what you're doing in <tt>.cshrc.custom</tt> as well.
<p>
If you need help modifying your login files please mail to tech -
we'll help.  ;-)
<p>
Please refer any questions to <tt>tech@cs.pitt.edu<tt>.
