Unix- opposite of Multics and any joke you might imagine. Our Unix does not have icons to click, you must type commands and the commands were made up by a few guys about 1970 who never imagined that their efforts would be used by other people- and the commands are wierd- but they fit the personalities of their creators. At home look for "putty" through google. Download putty and put on your desktop. Click on puttty.exe Hostname cs.wpunj.edu. Protocol: ssh open Login- last name first initial (I think 8 characters with truncated last name) try it here to list your files, type ls to list the contents of a file named foo, type cat foo ( I kid you not, cat stands for concatenate to standard output) type: cat local.profile to create a file: program.cpp use pico to make hello world. pico program.cpp Give all C++ files the extension.cpp To compile a C++ program in the file program.cpp Type: g++ program.cpp Error messages appear with line numbers. To run Type : a.out Note no little window appears for input/output. you just type in space Most people use it as a.out outfile where infile contains the stuff you were planning to type in and outfile is a file where you would put the output. You can then say lp outfile to get the stuff at the printer in Coach house
