How to get a UNIX account and print the class notes

Go to ECS and find one of the UNIX workstation labs.

Sign onto a workstation as user "register" and follow the instructions. The next day you can get your password from the RJE, basement of ECS.

Now, sign onto UNIX with your real username, and real password. (This can be done from the PC's or Mac's using telnet, as well as from the UNIX workstations.)

You are now signed onto UNIX. To get the class notes do the following - what you type is in bold. Your UNIX prompt will be something other than umbc7>. Substitute "username" with your username below. I have shown below how to get and print "notes1and2.ps."
