Very Computer

I am using Korn Shell. I have a c shell file which sets several environment
variables. People using c shell can source that file. But I am in k shell.
I tried . filename, but korn shell can't recognize those c shell syntax
though there is a #!/bin/csh line in that c shell file.

Anybody has any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance.

There are a number of scripts, source programs, and documents available
that discuss this particular problem.

I recommend that you peruse all the above sources available to you,
especially the first, as it describes the nature of the problem as well
as solving it for a variety of shells.

In addition, here are some scripts that convert one shell's environment
to another's (usually csh to ksh/bash/zsh).

function csh2bash_alias ()
# convert csh alias: eg: alias dir 'ls -al \!* | more'

{       if [ "x$2" = "x" ]
        then    declare -f $1
        else    echo $2 | egrep -q '(\!|#)'
                if [ $? -eq 0 ]

                                               s/\\!:\([1-9]\)/\"$\1\"/g
                                               s/#/\\#/g')

                fi
                eval function $1 \(\) "{" command "$comm"  "}"
        fi

# c2z - environment conversion tool
# Contributed by Bart Schaefer
# (Tweaked a bit by Paul Falstad)
#
# This is a quick script to convert csh aliases to zsh aliases/functions.
# It also converts the csh environment and local variables to zsh.  c2z
# uses the csh to parse its own dot-files, then processes csh output to
# convert the csh settings to zsh.
#
# When run as a zsh fuction, c2z runs csh as if it were an interactive
# shell whenever the parent zsh is interactive.  When run as a shell
# script, the -i switch can be used to force this behavior.
#
# The -l (login) switch causes csh to run as if it were a login shell.
# This is done "properly" if c2z is used as a zsh function, otherwise
# it's faked by explicitly sourcing .login.  Use with caution if your
# .login initializes an X server or does other one-time-only startup
# procedures.
#
# usage:
#       c2z [-i] [-l]
#
# You can use this script in your .zshrc or .zlogin files to load your
# regular csh environment into zsh; for example, in .zlogin:
#
#       . =(c2z -l)
#
# This is not perfect, but it gets most common aliases and variables.
# It's also rather time-consuming to do this every time you log in.
# However, if you're moving from csh to zsh for the first time, this
# can get you started with a familiar environment right away.
#
# In case your mailer eats tabs, $T is set to expand to a tab.
#
T="`echo x | tr x '\011'`"
# If we're zsh, we can run "- csh" to get the complete environment.
