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.
