Can anybody tell me what the maximum length for a variable is in the
C-shell? In my experience on both Sun workstation and MIPS the
limit is a mere 18 characters. While that may seem adequate for
most uses, I want to be really verbose! The Borne shell allows me
longer variable names. I don't really know the limit for it either.
So, is the limit really 18, or is this a bug? Where is the limit
documented? Thanks.
