Questions about UNIX?

All components of M-CHIPS are run on high grade hardware to enshure maximal stability for data storage and operation. The underlying operation systems are all UNIX derivatives. However, you will need to know hardly any UNIX commands to use M-CHIPS. The following list will do:

pwd (print working directory )tells you the current directory
ls lists the contained files and subdirectories
cd hugo (change dir) brings you to subdirectory "hugo"
cd .. changes back to the parent directory
mkdir catweazle creates subdirectory "catweazle"
rmdir catweazle removes it (must be empty)
rm file1.gpr removes file "file1.gpr"
cp file1.gpr hugo copies file "file1.gpr" into subdirectory "hugo"
mv file1.gpr file2.gpr moves file, here within the same directory (rename)
