Let me also add my recommendation for the posixcbt (posix computer-based
training) material. Posixcbt was written by George Stachnik, I understand,
and everything I know about posix l learned from this introduction (which may
be a great disappointment to George, btw).

Nonetheless, as long as you're going to look at this material, on a second
and completely different subject, I would greatly appreciate any comments
anyone might have concerning a rework I did of George's tutorial. I took his
script and rebuilt it into a voiced slide show as a practice run for the
tutorial mode of QCTerm. I only did this for only one section, Lesson Three,
subsection 3, "Symbolic Links." The words in this slide show are George's,
the voice and graphics are mine.

To run the tutorial, using QCTerm only (brand x terminal emulators won't
work), telnet into 209.181.113.217 and logon as:

     :hello <yourname>,demo.qcterm

and then type "b" to get into BASIC. Once there, type:

     >run posix6

and the tutorial should begin after a short intitial download.

At the moment, only the PAUSE key works, but soon the PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN,
HOME, END, ESCAPE and arrow keys will also operate, allowing you to move from
slide to slide, should you want to repeat a slide over again or accelerate
the pace. But for now, if you don't want to go all the way to the end,
probably the easiest way at the moment to exit is to simply kill your QCTerm
session.

While I recreated only a very small part of George's entire posix tutorial, I
tend to believe that there is a great deal of value in computer-based
training. However, my beliefs aren't what's important and I would greatly
appreciate hearing yours.
