Synopsis

Unix is rapidly becoming the standard operating system for more powerful micro-based systems with a wide applications base, and is often the basis for advanced and experimental computer- based projects. It is estimated that 1.4 million Unix licenses will be distributed by 1985, rising at the rate of approximately 400,000 each year. This book is written for the naive computer user faced with a Unix system, covering the general structure of Unix commands, the file system, and detailing the use of many system commands. The employment of the system text editor the text processing system, and other valuable utilities, are explained in detail; emphasis rests on the need of the user to exploit the powerful tools offered by the Unix system with both speed and accuracy. The book will be a most useful guide, since official documentation on Unix is more suited to the knowledgeable computer scientist: with the complete beginner in mind, this text is comprehensible to the non-specialist and the specialist alike.
