ABSTRACT:
U2G is a software tool that runs on the GCOS-8 operating system and enables it recognize and process the commonly used commands of the UNIX operating system. U2G is a UNIX-GCOS-8 translator that enables the GCOS-8 to recognize, accept and execute UNIX commands. Thus, it enables the UNIX users to work with the GCOS-8 system without prior training. U2G can translate the most commonly used UNIX commands along with their respective options into equivalent GCOS-8 Time Sharing System (TSS) commands. U2G can be used with a "Verbose" mode option which serves to provide descriptive information about the commands and the translation process. U2G has on-line help screens and "explain" pages for all of the important concepts and equivalences. U2G enhances the capabilities of GCOS-8 by supporting the important UNIX concept of "aliasing" and the use of shell variables. Another enhancement to GCOS-8 is support for I/O redirection and simple command procedures. U2G contains a startup file that is executed at the beginning of every session in order to set up the environment. This relieves the user from having to guess how to invoke a process on GCOS-8. The startup file also sets the aliases and other desired options as specified.
