I just loaded SFU 3.0 on and XP system. The tcsh startup file .tcshrc does not get executed from my home directory. Nor does .cshrc. Any ideas ?

Check that you own the file and that the mode is 600:
chmod 600 .tcshrc

OK, that fixed it. However, before the ls command output showed that I owned the file and that it was readable, and writeable. Any idea what was going on?
thanks for your help

It' s for security. Just as with the " .rhosts" file to prevent someone from accessing the file and making changes to it so that your own file becomes a trojan horse.
So the shell startup files for ksh/sh and csh/tcsh both do this check.

I forgot to mention that this is with the tcsh as shipped with Interix 3.0.
In the Interop /Tools warehouse there is a newer version of tcsh. I did not add code to it to do the same security checking.
