It shouldn't work under either, you need to escape the wildcards, try:
	find . -name '*.c' -print
I tried it under tcsh and it failed also. It said:
	FIND: Parameter format not correct
Presumably I got a different find in my path, because when I fully
qualified 
the path it worked ok, ie:
	C:/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/find . -name '*.c' -print
I'll have to go do a search and see which find's are on my path cause
which isn't working on tcsh.
