Unix

The remaining code was written in a lanuage called C. As the group continued to develop UNIX , small changes were needed in the kernel and the language to allow the operating system to be completed. It is rather complicated at first issuing commands like who > users_on. With a little coaxing from the voice in my head I start to click and find it is not all that foreign after all. UNIX had a small amoutnof code written in assembly language (called the kernel). I thought for a moment I was reading a foreign language. You learn the hard way that silence usually equals success. It tends to be a little intimidating at first glance.

UNIX is mysterious when you first approach it, I know I was stumped when I signed on that screen and looked at it like a lost puppy. Through this work they worked through the kernel and software until a complete operating system was written on top of the kernel in the language C. Nothing appears on the screen and so you think you have done something wrong.
