Since the Ontario Ministry of the Environment sent some free toxic gas
release modelling software, I owe them one, so I dug into my UNIX/C
Training file and came up with:
	Introduction to UNIX
	Digital Equipment Corporation, Educational Services
	(Probably more Ultrix/BSD than System V)

	A series of "audiodigital" training for UNIX:
	User Training Corp.
	130-B Knowles Drive
	Los Gatos, CA  95030
	(408)-370-9710

I recall seeing the User Training Corp. "stuff" demonstrated at an NCC
a year or so ago.  I found it to be well prepared and easy to learn 'vi' from
(I never learned "vi" as it was not around when I learned UNIX!)  ---
UTC also offers the hardware and software for "roll your own" training
materials.

Disclaimer:  Other than the NCC exhibit, I have not used either of the
above.
