Prentice Hall PTR, 1997

Extremely helpful training manual/cross reference
Designed to enable professional mainframers to apply existing knowledge and skillsets in the UNIX environment. Not for beginners with no knowledge base in either environment. Gives many helpful comparisons, for example: Mainframe = SDSF da/i/o/etc.. Closest Unix Equiv = lpstat/ps/who/vmstat/iostat Mainframe = partitioned data set (PDS) Closest Unix Equiv = subdirectory I believe would benefit ...
