rc

   1. <filename extension> (run commands) The {filename
   extension} common to many {Unix} configuration files, e.g.
   {.newsrc}, {.cshrc}, {.twmrc}, elmrc, etc.

   The suffix "rc" derives from a script-creation utility in
   {CTSS} called "{runcom}" (for "run commands").

   2. A {shell} from {AT&T}'s {Plan 9}, by Tom Duff.  rc offers
   much the same capabilities as a traditional {Bourne shell},
   but with a much cleaner {syntax}.

   An open source reimplementation was made by Byron Rakitzis,
   and is now maintained by Tim Goodwin <[email protected]>.

   Latest version: 1.6, as of 2000-06-15.
