+# Convert Csh aliases to Bash aliases. Adapted from a similar program
+# supplied with zsh.
+#
+# This is a quick script to convert csh aliases to Bash aliases/functions.
+# Pipe the output of csh's alias command through this; it will generate
+# a series of alias/function definitions on stdout, suitable for
+# processing by bash.
+#
+# This is not perfect, but it gets most common aliases; it should manage to
+# cut down a lot of the busy work.
