HELP

[Sheri Hastings]

Can anyone suggest a book - something like "UNIX for People 
Who Are Not Computer Wizards????"  It seems like everyone 
is switching to UNIX systems.  I don't relly like computers
but I have to make a living -- so maybe I should start learning
UNIX.  

I have been using VMS. Maybe there is a book out there that maps 
VMS commands to UNIX commands as much as such a thing is possible.

Also, where the heck do the UNIX command makers get their command
names (awk???? grep???)  Are they just being intentionally obtuse?

Anyway, I have to learn this stuff. Im not very computer literate
and I need help. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.   
You don't have to answer here - maybe just repond via EMAIL. 

Sorry if this is the wrong news group for this kind of thing. I
couldn't think of a better place to ask.
