Robert and Rachel Sartin, Jeff Smith, Rick Rummel, Pete Holsberg, Ron Dippold and Dave Taylor give an introduction to operating systems. In Part I, you will find a step-by-step tutorial on how to log on the UNIX system and how to do some basic commands. There is also a complete introduction to all the file listing commands, file tools, and editing text files. You will also find a quick guide to navigating the network and methods to communicate with other systems on your network.
In Part II, "Hunt for Shells," Rick Rummel and John Valley teach you how to develop shell scripts for the Bourne Shell, Korn Shell, and C Shell.
In Part III, "Programming," Ann Marshall, David Till, and James Armstrong teach you how to program awk and Perl and how to use the UNIX C compiler.
