I realize that many, or perhaps most, readers of this article will not be interested in these lectures. However, I think that there will also be readers who are interested, so: here are the descriptions of this series of my unix lectures. These lectures do not depend on each other; you can attend any one without any other. Lectures are one hour long. Everyone is welcome. Tuesday 6 October, GB220, 3:00 PM - An overview of UNIX philoso- phy. What life was like before UNIX, and some of the big UNIX design decisions that changed all this. What UNIX is supposed to be like from the user's point of view. Thursday 8 October, GB304, 2:00 PM - Intro UNIX usage. Setting up your account, dotfiles, subdirectories, commands and argu- ments, shells, redirection, pipes. Friday 9 October, GB119, 4:00 PM - Introduction to the C program- ming language. The advantages of a "medium-level language". Basic control structures; pointers if we have time. Wednesday 14 October, GB119, 1:00 PM - The C-shell. Job control, history substitutions, aliases, shell variables, builtin com- mands. Thursday 15 October, GB248, 4:00 PM - Intro UNIX architecture. The file structure, processes, the kernel, shells. Monday 19 October, 5:00 PM - Intro UNIX usage again. A little less theoretical this time, giving us a little time to discuss the C-shell as well. Room to be announced; watch for news. For more information mail to me at flaps@utcsri.

I know that these lectures will not be of interest to some people reading this
article; however, I believe that they will be of interest to others reading
