Aucbvax.5242 fa.info-vax utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!info-vax Wed Nov 18 21:22:16 1981 Pointer to Unix intro >From RYLAND@SRI-KL Wed Nov 18 21:14:08 1981 Sorry for any duplication on these two mailing lists, but people from both will probably be interested in a new book from Reston Publishing Co (a Prentice-Hall Co.), 1981: "Using the UNIX System", by Richard Gauthier. It tries to teach vanilla V7 Unix, and does a plausible job. It includes system-manager information (how the file system works, and how to repair broken file systems, though not in any real detail).

It was typeset with TeX on an Onyx box (a Unidot demi-product), using BNR's Alphatype with Don Knuth's fonts. Fairly slick, though it uses those horrid boxes at the top of each page (as exemplified by the TeX manual). -------
