text: Unix Power Tools Revisited
  Tuesday, April 25 2000 at 7:00-9:00 pm
  College of DuPage SRC 2800(D,E,F)
  In today's world of GUI environments, character base professionalism has become
  a diminishing skill set. As people are more inclined to drag, drop, and click
  with icons and GUI menus, emphasis on traditional skill sets have diminished.
  This presentation is a refresher on the strengths of UNIX. To be specific, this
  presentation reminds of the strengths of UNIX through examining very powerful
  text base scripting procedures which highlight the strengths of:
  Taking Advantage of Coutesy Loads
  Examining useful I/O and Command
  Useful Korn Shell Extensions
  Establishing Useful Functions and Aliases
  Very useful examples will be provided which could be utilized in your UNIX
  environments. This includes shell and perl scripts which are useful tools for
  System Administrator, UNIX Users, and Customer Support.
  Very detailed handouts will be provided to supplement the subject matter.
