Hmmm, let's fire up the old 3/60..... % man csh [.....] When set, the variable noclobber prevents destruction of existing files. It also prevents redirection to terminals and /dev/null, unless one of the ! forms is used. The & forms redirect both standard output and the standard error (diagnostic output) to the file.
