My impression was that the csh code was not maintained any more. Wikipedia
states the following:
"On many systems, such as Mac OS X and Red Hat Linux, csh is actually tcsh,
an improved version of csh. One file containing the tcsh executable has
links to it as both "csh" and "tcsh" so that either name refers to the same
improved version of the C shell.
On Debian, Ubuntu, and their derivatives, there are two different packages:
csh and tcsh. The former is based on the original BSD version of csh and
the latter is the improved tcsh."
I am wary about using unmaintained code for which not even a web page with
a tarball seems to exist, and would rather opt for the symlink.
Andreas
