I have several old csh scripts which I want to run with bash. Is there
a clean way of doing this? Conversion programs etc etc. If not, how
does one do the foll: in bash?

1. Equivalent of switch(...) case....... endsw

2. Match wildcards like :
if test "$C" = "4.*" ; then.....
I want to match all 4.strings with $C.

I'm not sure if this does exactly what you want, but some variation
should:

case "$C" in
4.*) xxx ;;
esac
