Certain commercial products are identified in this paper in order to specify adequately the experimental procedure, or to cite relevant examples.In no case does such identification imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Bureau of Standards, nor does it imply that the products or equipment identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose.iv Common Command Language for File Manipulation and Network Job Execution: An Example H. L. FitzgeraldComputer networks provide the capability for sharing resources across many diverse computer systems.Utilizing this capability is inhibited by the requirement that the user become familiar with all the varied command languages and protocols of each accessed system.This report presents a general approach to solving this prob- lem using an intermediary system to support a set of Common Commands for File Manipulation and Net- work Job Execution.To show the feasibility of this approach, common commands were implemented for four systems using the NBS Network Access Machine.
