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.

Sun Release 4.1    Last change: 2 October 1989                  7


This actual release of SunOS is 4.1.1_U1, but I think that noclobber in csh may
be as old as 3.5 -- sorry I've given away the 3.5 manuals now :-(
