provides sophisticated interactive capabilities lacking in the Bourne shell. The C shell, which was developed at the University of California, Berkeley, has a syntax, which resembles the C language. Features of the C shell include a command history buffer, command aliases and file name completion. However the C shell does not allow efficient shell programs (also known as scripts) to be written. Due to the fact that C shell programs are written in a style similar to the C programming language, people who are unfamiliar with C may find the C shell difficult to program in. The Korn shell combines the best features of the Bourne and C shells. Korn scripts are 95% upwardly compatible with Bourne scripts. The Korn shell interactive features include: in-line editing command editing job control Graphical User Interface (GUI) shells provide a iconic interface to Unix. GUI shells require the use of workstations (or powerful microcomputers) which perform part of the processing locally. The use of GUIs such as X-Windows is likely to become increasingly important in the near future. The Bourne shell is the oldest shell, and is widely used. The C shell has more utilities however and is probably more widely used now. However the Bourne shell is recommended for shell programs. The Korn shell is not widely available and is not a standard part of Unix, but is perhaps the best option if available.Windows NT.NT refers to the computer's operating system. An operating system dictates how all the parts of your computer work together and how specific tasks are to be performed. Windows NT 4.0 is similar in appearance and style to Windows 95. Windows 3.11 and NT 4.0 share few of the same characteristics. So, if you have been using Windows 95 on your personal computer, the transition to NT 4.0 should be relatively easy. What Makes NT So Great? NT works quickly (when using programs running under NT) NT is less likely to crash All resources are accessible from the...
