SYBASE.csh files in $SYBASE directory for user to source to setup all the
environment variables.
It is crucial to the operation of Sybase products that the system
environment variables be set correctly. Environment variables are set in
the user's environment either interactively or by including them in the
user's .login and .cshrc files (for C shell) or .profile file (for Bourne shell).
Only the file owner or the "root" user can edit a user's .login, .cshrc, or
.profile file.
