CPSC 120 Assignment 1 Back to Assignment index page
Instructor: Brenneman
Due Date: Monday, Sept 3 during class

This lab utilizes UNIX commands and the vim editor to create, modify, and print files.

Description:  You are to create a file in which you write several paragraphs that tell me about yourself.  Each paragraph should be indented.  A title should be given at the start of the document, followed by your name, followed by at least one blank line.  Each line should contain no more than 70 characters, you need to use the <Enter> key to end each line, VIM is not a word processor, it will not end lines for you.  The file should be created using the vim editor and saved.  The file should be named hist.doc.  You are not creating a program in this file, just a document using the VIM editor.  The file should be stored on your UNIX account in a directory named cpsc120.  This directory should be under your main home directory on your account.  Once created and saved you should perform a UNIX list command (list the files in the directory) with the -l parameter (long).  The output of this command should be appended to the bottom of your hist.doc file using Unix redirection.  You should then print the file using the printer in the lab.  This document is to be turned in during class on the due date.
