+csh (C shell from BSD)
+
+The C shell was originally written at UCB to overcome limitations in the
+Bourne shell. Its flexibility and comfort (at that time) quickly made
+it the shell of choice until more advanced shells like ksh, bash, zsh
+or tcsh appeared. Most of the latter incorporate features original to csh.
+
+This build is based on OpenBSD sources from 2011.
+
+For Slackware-specific details about this build of csh, see the file
+README_Slackware.txt. Seriously, really, read it.
