                            What is L-nix? 
                           ͼ

L-nix is an interactive tutorial program which runs under DOS and
MS Windows.  It contains the following learning modules:

	A) Introduction to UNIX 
	B) Your First UNIX Session 
	C) UNIX and Files 
	D) File Characteristics 
	E) Directories in UNIX 
	F) The UNIX Man Pages 
	G) Introduction to the Kornshell 
	H) Kornshell Customization 
	I) Basic Commands 
	J) Finding Files With find 
	K) Redirection and Pipes 
	L) Processes and Linking 
	M) Searching in Files: the grep command 
	N) grep: advanced usage 
	O) Some Useful Tools 
	P) Some More Useful Tools 
	Q) Communicating With Other Users 
	R) Command Substitution and Variables 
	S) Kornshell programming 

At the menu screen use the up and down cursor keys to move the menu bar
to the desired UNIX learning module.  Pressing the Enter key will start
that module.  Alternatively, while at the menu screen simply press the
letter corresponding to the L-nix module you wish to use.  Pressing the
X or Esc key will exit the L-nix program.

When in a module, use the PageUp and PageDown keys to move to the next
and previous module screens respectively.  Pressing the Esc key will
take you back to the menu screen, unless you are currently in test mode. 

At any point in the tutorial, you may easily switch over to the UNIX
shell simulation.  In the shell, you may try out most of the commands
covered in the tutorial screens.  Being merely a simulation, the shell
is very limited in what can be done there.  You can however, get a
feel for the UNIX environment by trying out commands here.

In many modules, after a certain amount of material has been covered in
the tutorial, a short multiple choice test can be taken.  Answers are
selected by pressing the key corresponding to letter next to the answer
presumed to be correct.  The testing is entirely optional, you may skip
it at any time by pressing the Esc key.

                              Known Bugs 
                             ͼ

In the L-nix shell the sort command does not work correctly.  When
printed to standard output, it does not execute linefeeds correctly. 
When the output of the command is redirected to a file the problem is no
longer present.  

E the Emacs like editor currently does not have all the commands
completed.
