Several new Technical Reports with special relevance to UNIX users are
now available (for free!).

"Pattern Matching with Regular Expression Notation in UNIX"
Timothy D. Gill, TR-85-12, 21 pages
ABSTRACT: This document is a tutorial on the use of regular expressions in 
UNIX.  It introduces the facilities and notation for string pattern matching 
using regular expressions, and should enable one to learn to use these 
facilities easily and without having to read the many and varied pieces of 
UNIX documentation on the subject.

I think virtually any UNIX user will learn something from this report.
It uses examples from grep, egrep, fgrep, sed, csh, ex, and vi.

"Rapid/USE on UNIX" 
Elisabeth Huhn, TR-85-10, 17 pages
ABSTRACT: This document is a tutorial on the use of Rapid/USE, a user 
interface building tool on UNIX.  Rapid/USE is a tool that allows a programmer
to separate concerns of physical I/O with a terminal from higher level 
User Interface issues.

Rapid/USE is a product of Anthony Wasserman's User Software Engineering (USE)
project at the University of California, San Francisco.

"Introduction to WICOMO"
Susan Stefanec, TR-85-06, 14 pages
ABSTRACT: This document introduces the user to WICOMO, an interactive software
cost estimation program based on the COCOMO model developed by Barry Boehm of
TRW.  The reader will be able to use WICOMO to estimate the cost and duration
of software projects.

Call Wang Institute at (617) 649-9731 for more information about WICOMO's
distribution.
