Abstract

This paper discusses about UNIX Operating System’s Components and Architecture. The features that made UNIX a hit from the start are multitasking capability, multi-user capability, portability, UNIX programs, library of application software, security etc. In multitasking capability, many computers do just one thing at a time, as anyone who uses a PC. “UNIX was the first operating system designed to run on ‘dissimilar’ computers by converting most hardware specific commands in machine language into an independent programming language called ‘C’”. UNIX was the basis of AT & T’s telephone system and the government’s wide area network system. Then, it became the basis of communication between engineers and scientists, and eventually the basis of communication for everyone worldwide. It has held this remarkable spot since, 1969.
