MKS Toolkit & Toolkit Select 6.2a Patch Problems Fixed

Minor patches to 6.2a involving csh, man, perl, sh, tksched, and viw.

Resolved Issues:

Problem Description
SR 18005 perl includes the Win32 extensions missing from the 6.2a release.
SR 18002 When a pipe error occurs, the set -e and ERR traps in the KornShell (sh) are now triggered.
SR 17976 csh now treats unexecutable commands as csh scripts rather than as KornShell scripts.
SR 17975 csh no longer crashes when the TMPDIR, TEMP, and TMP environment variables are all unset.
SR 17971 csh now supports the hashbang (#!) construct when the environment variable HASHBANG is set. The csh #! construct behaves just like the sh #! construct. See the sh(1) man page for details.
SR 17898 viw now properly handles macros that contain format commands ending with ^M.
SR 17729 man now properly handles man pages stored in a directory whose path name contains spaces.
SR 14941 perl no longer incorrectly converts variables to uppercase.
SR 14862 The Toolkit Scheduler (tksched) now allows the user to decide how missed events are handled. If the "Run missed Events at startup" item on the Options menu is not selected, the missed events are never run. If "Run missed Events at startup" is selected, another menu item, "Prompt for Missed Events" becomes available. If this item is also selected, the user is asked at startup whether or not missed events should be run; otherwise, missed events are always run. Additionally, tksched now logs missed events.
SR 14816 The Win32.pm module for perl now works correctly.
