The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg provides academic computing facilities in the McKenna Hall Computing Center, located at the center of campus. Computer Center resources are available to all students with a validated I.D. card. These resources include a variety of networked IBM compatible PCs, Macintosh PCs, and SUN unix workstations. Additionally each of these networks has access to the University's ethernet backbone. Laser printing is accessible from all computers, and a color flatbed scanner is also available.
A variety of software is available to each type of system including: word processing, desktop publishing, programming languages, spreadsheet and database applications, Computer Aided Design (CAD) applications and much more.
The University's network provides access to a variety of services running under the Unix and VMS environments. These services include a vast amount of software, ranging from word processing and programming languages to statistical analysis and mathematical modeling. PITTCAT, the on-line library database, and the INTERNET, a world-wide communications link, are also available.
Windows and Macintosh application documentation is available for checkout from the operator on duty at the front desk. Documentation for UNIX and VMS timesharing services may be found in the main information racks between the front desk and the printers in McKenna Hall. However this normally includes only the most frequently needed documentation. Therefore it may be better to reference the on-line Pittdoc directories. Pitt's Online Documents
