| You don't technically "source" CSH scripts from TCL scripts but you can use the 'exec' command in TCL to run CSH scripts or programs.

I have effectively tried 'exec' .. but unfortunately it didn't work with source as source is a shell-embedded command .. unlike 'mkdir' for example, which is a program under 'bin' ..
Did you try yourself doing that ? ..
In order to make my point clear, try to do (which mkdir) and (which source) to see the difference between a program like (mkdir) and a shell-embedded command like (source) ..

| I still don't know why you need to run 'source'. Post your TCL code.

I have 2 different CSH files .. according to the value of a certain variable (declared in a TCL script), I need to source only one CSH file .. but not the other ..
What is the problem with sourcing a file from inside a TCL script !

| you can source other TCL from within TCL scripts but you exec CSH scripts or other binary programs from within TCL scripts.

What do you mean by make sure it's executable ? .. the CSH file I have is simply a working csh script that I usually use with no problem thru my csh .. now, I need to invoke it from a TCL script .. that's it ..
I will try and let u know ..
