Description
This book is for technical professionals on IBM mainframe whose work environments and applications are moving to UNIX. The growing client/server environment has included the mainframe as a major component. UNIX is much more interactive and completely different way of thinking than the mainframe. This book is unique because it builds on existing mainframe knowledge to make the transition to UNIX.
