The New User's Guide is a comprehensive introduction to the Sun Workstation. It offers readers insights and shortcuts to get started quickly and easily on Sun's popular and powerful desktop computers. Since most users of Sun equipment are engineers, academics, scientists, and other technical professionals, the text assumes the user will be needing many of the workstation's impressive capabilities, including multitasking, networking, electronic mail, and mass-storage backups. The book provides the most readable and concise description available on the popular SunView user interface. In this section, readers will learn how to set up their computer to reflect their personal working environment. Although some knowledge of the UNIX operating system is helpful, it is not necessary. Novices, as well as intermediate users of Sun computers will benefit from The New User's Guide. Anyone who uses a Sun Workstation or who is considering pur- chasing one, should invest in this book.
