1 About This Manual
Intended Audience This manual is intendedfor use by all people using Amoeba, either by directly logging in or from another operating system running the Amoeba protocol.

It concludes with the collection of reference manual pages for userutilities and servers. Advice On Use Of The Manual It is recommended that the introductory material and tutorials be read at least once by all users. For those familiar with UNIX the initial tutorial material may seem straight forward but the file system and directory service are different from that of conventional systems and should be understood before proceeding. The manual pages are provided forreference and explain how to use the utilities and servers provided with Amoeba. (Note that some programming tools are described in greater detail in the Programming Guide .) It is expected that the manual pages will be used frequently. Throughout the manual there are references of the form prv(L), ack(U) and bullet (A). These refer to manual pages at the back of each guide. The following table...
