-This is the readmefile for the Operating Systems project.
-
-Objective: Create a mini-shell.
-
-Purpose: Understand OS processes.
-
-We want the program to display a writing prompt for a user to input commands and parameters.
-
-When the user inputs commands with parameters, our shell will read the command from the command line, and then parse the command. 
-
-Then the shell will open the file that contains the set of commands by looking up the path and parsing the path.
-
-For every command that is given by the user, the shell will
--- read a command from the file
--- parse the command
--- create a new process to execute the command
-
-After the commands are completed, the process will terminate gracefully.

+Project Description:
+As assigned, our project is to implement Lab Exercise 2.1, page 76 from our TextBook, Operating Systems by Gary Nutt.
+The full assignment question is as follows:	
+"Starting with the code in Section 2.4, design and implement a simple, interactive shell program
+that prompts the user for a command, parses the command, and then executes it with
+a child process. In your solution you are req uired to usc execv ( ) instead of execv p ( ) ,
+which means that you will have to read the PATH environment variable, then search each
+directory in the PATH for the command file name that appears on the command line."
+
+Objective & Purpose: 
+-Understand OS processes by:
+--Creating a simple minishell that is interactive and able to process input/instructions
+--Understanding how a command line shell works.
+--Understanding the commands fork, read, execv and wait.
+--Utilizing child processes to complete tasks/instructions
+--Feel comfortable compiling simple C++/C programs 
+
+Getting Started:
+-Required Linux based enviroment needed, with a compatible compiler such as G++ & Gcc installed.
+-If you need to modify the source code, NotePad++ is recommended as a freesource text editor that is available in Linux 
+
+Prerequisites:
+-PC Hardware that is either capable of running a Linux distro natively or can host a Linux VM on its native OS. If using the latter, VirtualBox is recommended
+
+Deployment & Production:
+-We want the program to display a writing prompt for a user to input commands and parameters.
+-When the user inputs commands with parameters, our shell will read the command from the command line, and then parse the command using a child process. 
+-Then the shell will open the file that contains the set of commands by looking up the path and parsing the path.
+-For every command that is given by the user, the shell will:
+--Read a command from the file
+--Parse the command
+--Create a new process to execute the command
+
+After the commands are completed, the process will terminate
