           *** AIX USER WORKSHOPS ***


The Cornell Theory Center's Cornell National Supercomputer
Facility will hold three identical workshops, for both new users
and for users migrating from CMS to AIX, on these dates:

        Workshop 1: May 29-31, 1991
        Workshop 2: June 10-12, 1991
        Workshop 3: June 17-19, 1991

The workshops will be conducted on the CNSF's two IBM ES/3090
600J supercomputers with vector facilities and large virtual
memory.  They will be held in the Training Facility on the fourth
floor of the Engineering and Theory Center Building on Hoy Road
on the Cornell Campus.

The workshops will each cover the topics listed in the chart
below.  Experienced UNIX users may choose not to attend the first
morning session, which will be a general introduction to the
operating system.
