There are lots of csh to bash script conversion tools out there but I have never come across a good tool to convert bash scripts to csh. For one thing, many of the more advanced bash features are not present in the standard csh.

i think it's like conversion from an .exe to source code. it's a strange thing.

It's not C-shell isn't our preferred shell... It's not even that it's obstreperous, unportable, and lacks functionality... It's that it's so very obstreperous, so very unportable, and lacks so much functionality. Depending on the features these BASH scripts use, "translating" them may amount to rewriting them from scratch.

Why do you have to use the C-shell? Is there some educational institution, line of books, corporate employer, evil overlord, or alien invader mandating its use? Someone we can talk to and convince to stop bothering the world.
