UNIX as an environment for producing numerical software
The UNIX operating system supports a number of software tools; a mathematical equation-setting language, a phototypesetting language, a FORTRAN preprocessor language, a text editor, and a command interpreter. The design, implementation, documentation, and maintenance of a portable FORTRAN test of the floating-point arithmetic unit of a computer is used to illustrate these tools at work.
