	 					    BACKGROUND FOR EDITORS




                     DECUS FALL 1992 SEMINARS/SYMPOSIUM
                TO FEATURE A VARIETY OF UNIX-RELATED SESSIONS



Computing professionals working with UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems and 
tools will find a variety of sessions geared toward their needs during the 
DECUS U.S. Chapter's Fall 1992 Seminars and Symposium programs, December 5 - 
11, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The DECUS UNISIG, the Chapter's UNIX focused Special Interest Group, and 
Digital's Customer Training Group will present a combined slate of 8 one- and 
two-day seminars on December 5 and 6. In addition the UNISIG will sponsor a 
total of 80 UNIX-related symposium sessions during the symposium week, 
December 7 - 11. 


Sessions will cover such topics as:

	 * Introduction to UNIX basics
	 * UNIX philosophy
	 * Management of ULTRIX systems
	 * Communications tools in ULTRIX
	 * ULTRIX security
	 * Transitioning from VMS to ULTRIX

In response to a growing demand for information on Digital's 64-bit Alpha 
platform, the UNISIG will present sessions dealing with OSF/1 on the 21064 
architecture, as well as sessions detailing techniques used in porting from 
ULTRIX on a 32-bit MIPS chip, to OSF/1 on the 64-bit Alpha platform.

The diverse offerings presented during the weeklong format of the DECUS 
seminars and symposium programs allow attendees to participate in sessions 
within their primary interest area as well as to explore new areas of 
interest. Forums such as Special Interest Group Campgrounds allow attendees 
to meet in an informal atmosphere.

DECUS seminars and symposium attendees have the opportunity to solve their 
current computing problems, learn new methods of dealing with everyday 
situations, explore new applications and technological advances, and to make 
contact with their peers in the computer industry.

                                     ###
