The UNIX simulator was specifically developed for this self study course to enable students to master UNIX commands and functionality.

The simulator:

• Encompasses the core design of the UNIX operating system - The simulator has been built to cover generic aspects of the operating system to enable you to understand the underlying workings of the UNIX operating system regardless of what flavour of UNIX you use.

• Requires no access to UNIX box - You will not need to purchase costly software in order to complete the course. You will be able to practice all the commands and functionality covered in the course on the simulator.

• Provides a safe learning environment - You will not impact your PCs operating system in any way as the simulator is a self contained software program that runs completely independently.

• Includes over 70 commands, file handling mechanisms, compression and decompression, backup and archive functionality - These cover the most frequently used operations in the UNIX environment. Once you have mastered them and understand the concepts they were built on, you will be well equipped to support users in a commercial environment.
