- "Operating Systems through UNIX" by Glyn Emery, formerly of the University
- College of Wales at Aberystwyth, is a well-written, user-friendly text which
- provides a low-cost introduction to UNIX, though it is applicable too to the
- UNIX lookalikes Idris and Xenix. It is aimed primarily at the student, but it
- should be well within the grasp of anyone who has had some experience of
- computing. Prof. Emery first introduces the main features of UNIX - the shell,
- process handling, files, input and output and the main utilities. He then goes
- on to build on the user's experience of the system by introducing the
- principles of operating-system design. The book covers process management
- memory management, scheduling of CPU. Contents: Preface; First steps; Edit ing;
- Directories and files; The shell; Regular expressions; Language systems; Text
- formatting; Process management; Memory management; Device management; System
- management; Index. 96 pages, ISBN 0-86238-086-3.
