by There is a good UNIX beginners manual "The CONVEX Unix Primer", that has
helped some of our new employees learn the basics of 4.2 BSD, even though we
don't have any Convex computers. It starts at the beginning (logging on) and
gets you through those first few painful days ("I want to search for a word
in all these files. Huh? Grep? Huh?"). ;-)
There sometimes exists the unformatted unix articles that make up the
supplimentary documents in /usr/doc/*. The unformatted online manual pages
are usually stored in /usr/man/man?/*.? if they're available at all. They
might be printed with nroff or troff. See your system administrator. Oh,
are YOU the system administrator? Oh well. It'd probably be easier, faster,
and cheaper to buy something at a book store. Why not get UNIX/World
magazine and poke through the ads.
