- This training material on Unix is from the Information resources
- training people at Denver's Bureau of Reclamation. Take it for what
- it's worth to you; you paid for it, and probably far more than you
- would think. Like all bureaucrats, the author of these documents
- wishes to remain anonymous. I have stripped down the Nerdperfect
- originals to ascii text. The Bourne Shell one might have the most
- meaning but decide for yourself. This material is provided, as is, with
- ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY as to its accuracy or usefulness. If you whole
- life is ruined as a result of seeing this brain damaged material,
- complain to the Bureau of Reclamation, the President, or your
- congressperson, not me!
-
- The multimax Unix is a conglomeration of Sys V R3.2 with some BSD
- stuff thrown in for good measure, based on my very brief review.
-
- More to the main point, there probably exists ton's of training
- manuals in electronic form, for which the taxpayers of this country
- paid HUGE sums of money. If you live near a military installation or
- other federal site, you may wish to try and see what they may have.
- The only catch is that they may claim they have to collect duplication
- costs from you. (The law gives them the right, If they don't want to
- give it to you, they'll jack this way up!) In my case, this whole
- process took only a couple of minutes for someone to copy the
- information from the server to the floppies that I provided. If they
- hassle you, you should call your congressional representative and
- invoke the Freedom of Information Act, if you really want the things.
- In my opinion, all this stuff should be in a publicly accessible data
- repository. Congress is working on such a thing, but the plan is to
- charge you even more to get it then you already paid. Legally, all
- material written by federal agencies including manuals and software is
- in the Public Domain. You can even sell it, if you can find somebody
- to buy it.
