CS 2213 Advanced Programming, Spring 2001 Lab Assignment 0

Due Thursday, January 25, 2001

Lab Assignment 0 has 6 parts.

Part 0:
Make sure you have an account on our Sun system. Log in on one of the machines in 3.02.04 SB. I recommend using the OpenWindows environment. If you are new to using this environment, you can use the following method to get started:

At the login screen, enter your user name and push return
Left click on Options, go down to session and choose OpenWindows Desktop
You should see "Solaris OpenWindows" in a box on the right
Enter your password
Wait a few seconds
A browser may come up with a request to register Solaris
Click More Information
Click Never Register twice
Set up your desktop. Close any windows you do not want. Make sure you have at least two terminal windows showing. To start on, right click in an empty space and choose Programs and then Command Tool. When it is set up, in a similar way choose Utilities and then Save Workspace.
When done, log out by left clicking in the empty space and choosing Exit...

You can start up a browser by entering the netscape command from a terminal window. Access the web site: /classes/cs2213s2001 and find out about lab assignment 1.

Part 1:
Make sure that you have had your picture taken. If it was not done after the first class, come to my office.

Part 2
If you have not already done so, create a web page for yourself.
The address of your web page should be http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~username.

Part 3
Start learning how to use the vi editor. There is an online tutorial which you can get to by executing vitutor on one of the Sun machines.
You can also find a list of vi commands in /usr/local/doc/vi/vi.ref

Part 4:
Read your mail. You should have a mail message from me addressed to the entire class. Do not reply to this email. If you did not get this email, send an email to srobbins@cs.utsa.edu indicating that you are registered for CS 2213 but did not get the class email. A new class email will be sent daily until all students are receiving it.

Part 5:
When you have completed the other parts of the assignment, send me email to cs2213@cs.utsa.edu informing me that you have completed all parts of Assignment 0 and that you have received the class email message described in Part 4. The subject line should be
CS 2213 Assignment 0
The body of your mail message should contain a statement indicating that you have completed the prerequisites for the course and indicate how you satisfied each prerequisite. For example you can state that you took CS 1723 at UTSA last fall.
Alternatively, you can attach a copy of an email message from me to you in which I state that you may take the course without having formally completed the prerequisites.

You may use any mail tool you like to send this email, but it must have a subject line and the mail must be sent from our sun network.
