Abstract
We give a brief introduction to FORM, a symbolic programming language for massive batch operations, designed by J.A.M. Vermaseren. In particular, we stress various methods to efficiently use FORM under the UNIX operating system. Several scripts and examples are given, and suggestions on how to use the vim editor as development platform.
