> What's the question? > > 'ooroo As follows: Mrs. Browning has recently completed her MSc and is currently taking tentative steps into the world of gainful employment. One application form received is for the mentioned organisation. The job description is standard stuff and demands experience of using software to model environmental processes (okay so far). In the list of prerequisites, however, is listed 'proficiency in UNIX programming'. A phone call later and we are none the wiser. Our home system comprises one RH7.1 box and one Debian 2.2 at present, so she is at home in a UNIX environment, in addition, a significant part of her project involved the development of an involved model in C. One interpretation would suggest that this fulfils the criterion in question. However, they might intend for you to understand this comment to mean 'knows loads of Perl', or 'competent in system maintenance' etc. I just reckoned there was an outside chance that someone could throw some light on this.
