Apparently, csh programming is considered harmful.

There;s one item that is much more easily done in csh/tcsh than in the 
sh based ones .... that's redirecting the stderr along with the stdout. 
  with tcsh, when I do a make, I commonly do a:

make |& tee makeout

which causes both the stdout and stderr files to be redirected to the 
"makeout" make listing file.  I;'ve never figured out any reasonably 
simple way to do that in any sh-like shell.  Is there any simble way 
that you know of?
