Abstract :
The UNIX operating system (TM Bell Laboratories) has achieved a high degree of popularity in recent years. It is rapidly becoming a defacto standard as the operating system for 16 and 32 bit microcomputers. The adoption of this operating system by the physics community offers several substantial advantages; a portable software environment (editors, file system, etc.), freedom to choose among a variety of higher-level languages for software applications, and computer hardware vendor independence.
