sh is *not* smaller than tcsh.

Because sh is now a hard link to bash, tcsh and the hard-linked-to-tcsh csh are much smaller.

So everyone can feel free to use tcsh. Avoid sh/bash! (Based on the smaller-is-better theory, which I don't agree with when the size is less than the size of the CPU cache these days).
