I don't know where you get your information from, but I think you are not correct. C is not the only language to run on UNIX boxes. Wiseowl, I agree with both statements but they are not related. The shell scripts and other higher level "languages" access services in the operating system through a C language interface. It's sort of a tier structure with C right near the bottom. Think of C as the UNIX Programing Language (UPL) and you will have the connection to the Java Programing Language (JPL, hmmm....) and Java the Operating System and/or environment. See, Windows was an "environment" long before it ever made it to Operating System status and high level languages like COBOL and FORTRAN either used Window's C language interface or their assembly language interface.
