Hello,
With the joined efforts of Joerg Wunsch, Annelise Anderson, Marty
Leisner, and myself, Brian Kernighan has given the approval to
include into distribution a Learn program witten by him and
Michael Lesk.
This program is circa 1979, therefore needing a lot of work to
get it up to present in terms of content as well as making it
work effectively into FreeBSD.
"Kernighan's purpose in creating the program was, ac-
cording to those files, to provide direct interaction
with the unix system. From the little I've used it,
"learn" seems to be a systematic and orderly way to
learn unix basics from a user point of view, and it
might be worthwhile to provide such a utility."
Annelise Anderson
Help is needed!
The current src of 'learn' is available via CVSup.
Just put
learn-all release=cvs
in your supfile, if you are interested in using it in it's cur-
rent form and/or would like to contribute to it's Lessons.
A README in the learn directory as well as learn.ms will give you
an overview of the program. Any questions can be sent to
"learners@FreeBSD.org".
