Two sets of questions: 1) Does your school teach an introduction to Unix? -as part or all of a course? -what is the course called? -what subject matter is covered? -what do you use for a textbook? -prerequisites? 2) What are your favorite introductory Unix books? -Title -Author -Publisher -ISBN # -what do you particularly like about it?

We have instituted a new course covering Unix to replace our old, and tired, "Advanced Fortran for Engineering Graduate Students" -- its audience is graduate students and faculty from other disciplines who see the value in learning Unix. The course is a senior level course (but will not count towards CS major requirements) having a structured programming course as a prerequisite. It is titled: CS 405 :"Contemporary Programming Techniques" We will cover the usual Unix topics: Mail system; utilities, commands, and libraries; editors; shells, shell scripts; I/O; networking; compilers. Since we are teaching it the first time in the Fall, a text book has not been settled, but should be soon. -- james lee peterson petersja@handel.cs.colostate.edu dept. of computer science colorado state university "Some ignorance is invincible." ft. collins, colorado 80523
