Well, you might recall I posted about a problem I was having with tcsh
some time ago.  Basically when I start tcsh up on my FreeBSD system
I get the following message:

Warning: no access to tty (Operation not supported by device).
Thus no job control in this shell.

That's it.  None of the tcsh options work (command completion, etc).  No
suprise there.

Several kind people sent me mail telling me that the problem was an out of
date binary.  Everyone said 'you should get the one on freebsd.cdrom.com'.
I was -sure- I got it from there to start with, but I got it again just to
be sure.

Someone suggested that I should compile it from the source on freebsd.cdrom.com
as well.  This produced identical results to those previously mentioned.

I could really use some help on this problem.  Any clue out there as to what
might be going on?  Thanks a million in advance for any help you might have
to offer!
