The PC UNIX SIG is a group that meets monthly to discuss the popular
UNIX versions for the IBM PC family. We have beginners as well as
experts, all trying to help each other and learn more about Unix. The
format is formal presentations and general questions and answers. We
are also starting a library of public domain source code and an
electronic mail network.
The meetings are free and open to the public, but members are encouraged
to join the parent group, Silicon Valley Computer Society (SVCS). SVCS
is an IBM PC users group which has monthly meetings with speakers from
the PC industry. For more information on SVCS call 408-286-2969.
