IBM Professional Series User Manual page 2

Preface
This publication is intended for all users of VM/PC. It
assumes a general knowledge of the VM operating
environment. This publication has two sections:
1. Chapters 1 through 5 contain basic information to help
you start using VM/PC.
2. Chapters 6 through 8 and the Appendixes contain more
specialized and reference information.
"How to Use This Book" on page 1-3 describes the layout of
this book in greater detail.
If you are not familiar with using VM/SP or something
similar, you may want to order the IBM publication Virtual
Machine/ Personal Computer Primer, part number 6024174,
from your IBM Marketing Representative. This Primer is
intended for beginning users. It provides many examples of
basic usage.
VM/PC is based upon VM/SP Release 2. It may be
necessary to reference some VM/SP publications to find
further reference information for VM/PC. Appendix
C, "Comparison of VM/PC and VM/SP" on page C-1
provides information about where to find further information
in the VM/SP library, and gives the Titles and Order
Numbers for the VM/SP books.
When you see text printed in this color it indicates either:
1. This is the first occurrence of a term defined in the
glossary.
2. This is a user entry (for example, a command).
