1 Unix                  Conversion table for UNIX to VMS Commands
  The subtopics of this help screen provide the user with a way of translating 
  many Unix commands to VMS commands. The following is a list of equivalent
  commands that are suggested, hit return till you see the prompt:

  Topic:  and then the suggested VMS command for more information.

  VMS is a case insensative operating system and abbreviations are commonly

  Many of the unix commands that are not available in VMS can be used through
  Eunice.  See FORUM or type UNIX for more information.

  Some DCL commands allow a command parameter of /OUTPUT=filename
  For those programs which do not, the output may be put into a
  file   by first typing:  DEFINE/USER SYS$OUTPUT filename    This
  will redirect the output of the next program run into the 
  specified file.  If the DCL command is an internal command to 
  DCL (meaning that no program actually runs, e.g. RECALL/ALL) 
  you must do the following:
        DEFINE SYS$OUTPUT filename
        issue the necessary command then
        DEASSIGN SYS$OUTPUT
