I am trying to put together a short manifesto outlining why Unix (or some high quality computing environ- ment) is critical for a CS program. If I can convince the administrative higher-ups that CS will wither on the vine without Unix, they may just go for it [instead of VMS]. What kind of help can you give me: - more languages (C, LISP, YACC, ...) ? - familiarity with another system (a widely used system) ? - a more productive programming environment ? - communication with the outside world (USENET) ? - a working example of how software should be designed ? - a fertile ground for senior year student projects (what am I going to find under VMS for 35 student projects next year??) ? thanks mike decvax!watmath!watbun!jmrobinson jmrobinson@watbun.UUCP -- -IAN!
