Release 3.0
November 26, 1997
Compiled by Anne Heavey
In 1995-1996, the Fermilab Computing Division's VMS Migration Task Force was responsible for updating UNIX at Fermilab (from the June 1991 release) in time for the mass migration from FNALV. That task force included: Pushpa Bhat, Joel Butler, Lauri Loebel Carpenter, Mike Diesburg, Dave Fagan, Ken Fidler, Steve Hanson, Rob Harris, Joy Hathaway, Anne Heavey, Art Kreymer, Paul Lebrun, Frank Nagy, Judith Nicholls, Dane Skow, Mike Stolz, Roy Thatcher, Al Thomas, Matt Wicks, and Steve Wolbers.
Other contributors/reviewers included Liz Buckley-Geer, Chuck DeBaun, Lynn Garren, Randy Herber, Peter Kasper, Marc Mengel, Clyde Moseberry, Gene Oleynik, Ruth Pordes, Marilyn Schweitzer, Jonathan Streets, and Margaret Votava.
The CERN UNIX User Guide, after having lifted information from the early release of UNIX at Fermilab, was in turn used to provide much of that information back to us appropriately updated! Naturally, we lifted additional useful information from CERN's well-constructed manual. The CERN document Shell Choice, A shell comparison was also used.
This 1997 revision of UNIX at Fermilab includes contributions from many of the people listed above. Additional contributors/reviewers include Eileen Berman, Jim Fromm, Lisa Giacchetti, Jeff Kallenbach, John Marraffino, Laura Mengel, Liz Sexton-Kennedy, and Alan Wehmann.
We'd like to thank the readers who have taken the time to send us suggestions about the manual.
