Grades
You can get your current numerical grades
by logging in to the UNIX system, and typing "~oneill/92.316/f98scores".
If you are using a shell where "~" doesn't work, type "/usr/cs/manager/oneill/92.316/f98scores".
Scripts
All scripts being turned in as assignments
MUST be written in standard BSD or SysV Bourne Shell. BASH and KSH have
extentions and are more lax about syntax, and may result in scripts that
will not function properly.
All scripts MUST have "#!/bin/sh" as the
very first line.
