The shell is the wrapper around the system: a communication means between the user and the system The shell is the manner in which the user can interact with the system through the terminal. The shell is also a script interpreter. The simplest script is a bunch of shell commands. Shell scripts are used in order to boot the system. The user can also write and execute shell scripts. Shell – p. 3/55 Shell - which shell? There are several kinds of shells. For example, bash (Bourne Again Shell), csh, tcsh, zsh, ksh (Korn Shell). The most important shell is bash, since it is available on almost every free Unix system. The Linux system scripts use bash. The default shell for the user is set in the /etc/passwd file. Here is a line out of this file for example: dana:x:500:500:Dana,,,:/home/dana:/bin/bash This line means that user dana uses bash (located on the system at /bin/bash) as her default shell. Shell – p. 4/55 Starting to work in another shell If Dana wishes to temporarily use another shell, she can simply call this shell from the command line: [dana@granada ˜]$ bash dana@granada:˜$ #In bash now dana@granada:˜$ exit [dana@granada ˜]$ bash dana@granada:˜$ #In bash now, going to hit ctrl D dana@granada:˜$ exit [dana@granada ˜]$ #In original shell now Shell – p.

Exact time and location will be displayed from noon, Friday on the hotel lobby information terminals. The Society presently is informal—no officers or committees—and the only "official office holder" is L.E. Geisler, editor and publisher of the SEBHC JOURNAL. In the remote possibility that some SEBHC members want to establish a formal society, we advise them to send a proposed outline of same to the SEBHC JOURNAL. We will publish all those received before 5- Aug-87 in issue number 12 (August, 1987). The August JOURNAL issue will be available in the meeting room from about 13:00, Friday. Interested members can read what others have proposed in this issue, and may then discuss the proposals with other members also attending. If desired, they can draft a formal proposal for establishing a government, constitution and bylaws for the Society BEFORE meeting and acting on Lhe proposal. Note: This meeting will be quite brief, as most members are expecting to attend HUGCON-VI, and we don’t want them missing that. Subscribers visiting the meeting room may pick up their Aug-87 copy of the SEBHC JOURNAL there.

  • The Origins of Word Processing and Office Automation
    Remembering the Office of the Future: The Origins of Word Processing and Office Automation Thomas Haigh University of Wisconsin Word processing entered the American office in 1970 as an idea about reorganizing typists, but its meaning soon shifted to describe computerized text editing. The designers of word processing systems combined existing technologies to exploit the falling costs of interactive computing, creating a new business quite separate from the emerging world of the personal computer. Most people first experienced word processing using a word processor, we think of a software as an application of the personal computer. package, such as Microsoft Word. However, in During the 1980s, word processing rivaled and the early 1970s, when the idea of word process- eventually overtook spreadsheet creation as the ing first gained prominence, it referred to a new most widespread business application for per- way of organizing work: an ideal of centralizing sonal computers.1 By the end of that decade, the typing and transcription in the hands of spe- typewriter had been banished to the corner of cialists equipped with technologies such as auto- most offices, used only to fill out forms and matic typewriters.

  • Wordperfect 4.X Versions
    WordPerfect 4.x Versions Richard Wood 1. All of these are closely related versions. Each later version has enhancements over the prior one and slightly improved printer drivers. Memory requirements also increased with each version. WP 4.0 will fit entirely on one 1.44 meg floppy while both 4.1 and 4.2 will not, though all files necessary for full program functionality will. 2. Default for all versions is white characters on a black screen but they can be setup for the WP classic white on blue screen colors, or your own combination. 3. To install on a hard disk, copy all files on the disks to your directory of choice and then, from the directory where installed, run the program with the line WP/S or WP /S. This will put you into setup mode. All setup prompts are pretty much self explanatory if you are familiar with later versions 5.0 and 5.1 or other word processing software. There is no install program as included with version 5.1 and later. 4. These versions do not support a mouse or use of either extended or expanded memory. 5. These versions do not have a graphics mode print preview or any graphics import/use capabilities, they strictly deal with text. Without the graphics mode print preview the only accurate way to see printout results is to do a test printout. They do have a print preview mode but it is still a character based mode and cannot give a true representation of how things will appear on paper, particularly if using a proportionally spaced font.

  • Configuring Your Login Session
    SSCC Pub.# 7-9 Last revised: 5/18/99 Configuring Your Login Session When you log into UNIX, you are running a program called a shell. The shell is the program that provides you with the prompt and that submits to the computer commands that you type on the command line. This shell is highly configurable. It has already been partially configured for you, but it is possible to change the way that the shell runs. Many shells run under UNIX. The shell that SSCC users use by default is called the tcsh, pronounced "Tee-Cee-shell", or more simply, the C shell. The C shell can be configured using three files called .login, .cshrc, and .logout, which reside in your home directory. Also, many other programs can be configured using the C shell's configuration files. Below are sample configuration files for the C shell and explanations of the commands contained within these files. As you find commands that you would like to include in your configuration files, use an editor (such as EMACS or nuTPU) to add the lines to your own configuration files. Since the first character of configuration files is a dot ("."), the files are called "dot files". They are also called "hidden files" because you cannot see them when you type the ls command. They can only be listed when using the -a option with the ls command. Other commands may have their own setup files. These files almost always begin with a dot and often end with the letters "rc", which stands for "run commands".

  • Unit 6: Computer Software
    Computer Software Unit 6: Computer Software Introduction Collectively computer programs are known as computer software. This unit consisting of four lessons presents different aspects of computer software. Lesson 1 introduces software and its classification, system software which assists the users to develop programs for solving user problems is presented in Lesson 2. Many programs for widely used applications are available commercially. These programs are popularly known as application packages or package programs or simply packages. Advantages of package programs and brief outline of popular packages for word-processing, spreadsheet analysis, database management systems, desktop publication and graphic and applications are discussed in Lesson 3. Tasks for developing computer programs and brief introduction to some common programming languages are presented in Lesson 4. Lesson 1: Introduction and Classification 1.1 Learning Objectives On completion of this lesson you will be able to • understand the concept of software • distinguish between system software and application software • know components of system software and types of application software. 1.2 Software Software of a computer system is intangible rather than physical. It is the term used for any type of program. Software consists of statements, which instruct a computer to perform the required task. Without software a computer is simply a mass of electronic components. For a computer to input, store, make decisions, arithmetically manipulate and Software consists of output data in the correct sequence it must have access to appropriate statements, which instruct programs. Thus, the software includes all the activities associated with a computer to perform the required task. the successful development and operation of the computing system other than the hardware pieces.
