I believe long ago it (tcsh) was in the ports and moved into the base  
at one time.  My really old accounts have /usr/local/bin/tcsh showing  
while newer ones use /bin/tcsh .  (Where /usr/local/bin/tcsh at one  
time on my machines became a link to /bin/tcsh)

This is getting ridiculous.  Lets remove everything but the kernel,  
ls, and vi.  What else do all you whiners really need to do any work?
