Sorry about the email id.

I did however take your suggestion and looked all morning over the internetfor a way to somehow get unix on my home computer.
I searched using google and yahoo, but with no avail , as either my inexperiance regarding even the slightest of technical terms or the fact that i got bumped back into an array of tutorials (for free by the way) got me further tangled up.

As i have literally no one to talk to about this subject, accompanied by my desperation to somehow learn unix, (for college,which has not begun) i ask again ; how must i get this to work.

[do i need linux to work on unix ? i have a software called ubuntu, but prefer windows.
ok-this might seem weird-but i had seen someone using unix (every line starts with a dollar) and he worked using telnet.(dont know what that is)

Please let me know how to get this to work, or where exactly do i download this (if it is downloadable) and that how do other people use this os.

Thanx.

MBK_WORK_LIB(1) 					     MBK ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES						   MBK_WORK_LIB(1)

NAME
MBK_WORK_LIB - define the mbk working directory SYNOPSYS
c-shell running setenv MBK_WORK_LIB unix path ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/ E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr DESCRIPTION
MBK_WORK_LIB sets the directory where are saved the results of an invocation of mbk or genlib. This directory is considered to be, from an mbk point of view, read and write. Also, when a file is searched for reading, the first directory to be looked at is the MBK_WORK_LIB, and then the one defined in MBK_CATA_LIB(1). The unix path argument must be a actually accessible path on your host machine. ERRORS
"mbk_fopen : can't open file 'unix_path/file.xx'" This occurs when either the unix path is irrelevent, or when the file doesn't exist if it is open for reading, or when you don't have the right on the file or directory while trying to write it. EXAMPLE
setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/crechan/uom SEE ALSO
mbk(3), genlib(1), MBK_CATA_LIB(1). BUG REPORT
This tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. We need your feedback to improve documentation and tools. ASIM
/LIP6 October 1, 1997 MBK_WORK_LIB(1)
