Unix Help
The UNIX help page is set up to provide a general introduction and
reference for Unix
novices. Experienced users may also find a few things of interest.
While I do not claim that all of the information is correct or is
applicable to to any particular Unix system, I have tried to be as
complete and accurate as possible. Use this information at your own risk...
it is worth exactly what you paid for it.
Thanks to Chad Mynhier, the Lab Engineer at the Computer Science
Department at the University of Tennessee, for his web page which I have
shamelessly ripped off to create this one. All of the correct informating here is
the result of his hard work... all of the errors belong to me alone.
