Sorry, but I really need to go from Bash to csh.  I write my shell
scripts in Bash; but many folks at work use a csh env.  At this point, I
am researching a solution for them: one possibility being the conversion
of said scripts to csh.

I had already tried that but ran into issue.

That's pretty close; except I work in the Bash world.  Many of my peers
do not, but they require the functionality of the Bash scripts.

Thanks,
