Book excerpt: This book views the operating system as a problem-solving aid for a programmer to master, just as a programming language must be mastered. A full-service, multi-user, interactive operating system is intended for use by application programmers. This book not only shows the programmer what an operating system is expected to provide, it gives programmers a hands-on opportunity to use it. Theoretical discussions are included, but the emphasis is on the application, so that the software engineer can exploit the services provided by a working operating system, in this specific instance the VAX/VMS system. Once the text introduces the purpose of a particular service, it discusses how this service is provided and how the VMS operating system makes use of it.
