Addison-Wesley's Interactive UNIX Tutorial and Reference is a CD-ROM tutorial and a lab/reference guide which together enable you to acquire basic user-level familiarity with UNIX in a self-paced environment. The material covers mostly generic UNIX concepts (though it is based on the Bourne shell) and assumes no previous knowledge of UNIX. The CD-ROM includes 14 modules (which average about an hour each) that demonstrate particular aspects of the UNIX system using dynamic examples and hands-on exercises in a simulated UNIX environment. Using the assessment software contained on the CD-ROM, you can determine how well you understand the topics covered in the modules; this tool generates multiple-choice tests and points out your strengths and weaknesses based on your performance, and can be used as often as you like. Upon completing a particular module, you can gain experience working with UNIX terminal exercises in the module's corresponding lab manual chapter. The lab manual also includes UNIX command references and a glossary of key terms, both of which are provided as a useful reference to the UNIX user. This tutorial will teach you to: Understand the role of operating systems and get an overview of the differences between DOS, UNIX, and Windows Recognize the role of the UNIX shell Define key terms Understand the overall UNIX file structure Log in and out of a UNIX system Understand the importance of a home directory Use cal, calendar, date, mail, news, who, and write commands Copy, rename, delete, move, link, sort, find, join, and print files Make, change, and delete directories Use pipe, redirection, and filters Use UNIX on a daily basis Construct simple shell scripts Decipher UNIX error messages Control the security of files Use vi text editor System Requirements: Microsoft Windows 95 or higher Memory: 32 MB RAM minimum 15 MB hard disk space minimum Minimum screen display resolution should be 800 x 600 pixels with Small Fonts CD-ROM drive The CD-ROM described above, is an enhanced version of Edutrends commercial product.
