1 | Welcome to Project Athena |
---|
2 | -------------------------- |
---|
3 | - Project Athena is an eight-year experiment to explore the use of |
---|
4 | computers in university educational programs. Initiated in May 1983, |
---|
5 | the project develops computers as useful tools, rather than objects of |
---|
6 | study, in the education of students at MIT. |
---|
7 | |
---|
8 | - Project Athena seeks to support as much of the MIT student and faculty |
---|
9 | population as possible in a campus-wide distributed service networked |
---|
10 | workstation environment. |
---|
11 | |
---|
12 | - For help about any aspect of Athena, type: help followed by a carriage |
---|
13 | return. This calls the On-Line Help system (OLH), a menu browser that |
---|
14 | helps you find information about many Athena topics. (If a topic is not |
---|
15 | described in detail in OLH, the system system usually provides information |
---|
16 | on where to find out more about the topic.) OLH includes: |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | - guides to all aspects of the supported Athena environment, including |
---|
19 | how to get an account, how to login and logout, how to work with the |
---|
20 | UNIX operating system, and how to use some of the most popular |
---|
21 | software on Athena (including software that can help you use Athena |
---|
22 | to write papers or analyze data) |
---|
23 | |
---|
24 | - up-to-date status information on the Athena system, available Athena |
---|
25 | minicourses, and other current events at Athena |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | - stock answers to many commonly asked questions about Athena |
---|
28 | |
---|
29 | - a complete set of standard UNIX reference modules ("man pages") |
---|
30 | |
---|
31 | - If you have trouble, you can contact an Athena User Consultant. To get a |
---|
32 | consultant on-line, just type: olc followed by a carriage return. To |
---|
33 | talk to a consultant in person, call X3-4435 (if there is no consultant on |
---|
34 | duty, you will get a recording informing you of the consulting schedule). |
