- General:
- .LP
- K. L. Thompson and D. M. Ritchie,
- .IT The
- .ul
- .UC UNIX
- .ul
- Programmer's Manual,
- Bell Laboratories, 1978.
- Lists commands,
- system routines and interfaces, file formats,
- and some of the maintenance procedures.
- You can't live without this,
- although you will probably only need to read section 1.
- .LP
- .ul
- Documents for Use with the
- .ul
- .UC UNIX
- .ul
- Time-sharing System.
- Volume 2 of the Programmer's Manual.
- This contains more extensive descriptions
- of major commands,
- and tutorials and reference manuals.
- All of the papers listed below are in it,
- as are descriptions of most of the programs
- mentioned above.
- .LP
- D. M. Ritchie and K. L. Thompson,
- ``The
- .UC UNIX
- Time-sharing System,''
- CACM, July 1974.
- An overview of the system,
- for people interested in operating systems.
- Worth reading by anyone who programs.
- Contains a remarkable number of one-sentence observations
- on how to do things right.
- .LP
- The Bell System Technical Journal
- (BSTJ)
- Special Issue on
- .UC UNIX ,
- July/August, 1978,
- contains many papers describing recent developments,
- and some retrospective material.
- .LP
- The 2nd International Conference on Software Engineering
- (October, 1976)
- contains several
- papers describing the use of the
- Programmer's Workbench
- .UC PWB ) (
- version of
- .UC UNIX .
- .SH
- Document Preparation:
- .LP
- B. W. Kernighan,
- ``A Tutorial Introduction to the
- .UC UNIX
- Text Editor''
- and
- ``Advanced Editing on
- .UC UNIX ,''
- Bell Laboratories, 1978.
- Beginners need the introduction;
- the advanced material will help you get the most
- out of the editor.
- .LP
- M. E. Lesk,
- ``Typing Documents on
- .UC UNIX ,''
- Bell Laboratories, 1978.
- Describes the
- .UL \-ms
- macro package, which isolates the novice
- from the vagaries of
- .UL nroff
- and
- .UL troff ,
- and takes care of most formatting situations.
- If this specific package isn't available on your system,
- something similar probably is.
- The most likely alternative is the
- .UC PWB/UNIX
- macro package
- .UL \-mm ;
- see your local guru if you use
- .UC PWB/UNIX .
