std-unix@ut-sally.UUCP (Moderator, John Quarterman) (03/25/86)
This is the first article in Volume 6 of mod.std.unix/std-unix. These volumes are strictly for administrative convenience. Paper copies of them get delivered to the P1003 committee chair from time to time and several members of the committee follow the newsgroup on-line. Feel free to continue any discussions from the previous volume or to start new discussions. The USENET newsgroup mod.std.unix is for discussions of UNIX standards, particularly the IEEE P1003 draft standard. It is also distributed in an ARPA Internet mailing list. I'm the moderator, which mostly means I post what you send me. I'm also the institutional representative of the USENIX Association to P1003. Submissions-To: ut-sally!std-unix or std-unix@sally.UTEXAS.EDU Comments-To: ut-sally!std-unix-request or std-unix-request@sally.UTEXAS.EDU UUCP-Routes: {gatech,harvard,ihnp4,seismo,pyramid,sequent}!ut-sally!std-unix Permission to post to the newsgroup is assumed for mail to std-unix. Permission to post is not assumed for mail to std-unix-request, unless explicitly granted in the mail. Mail to my personal addresses will be treated like mail to std-unix-request if it obviously refers to the newsgroup. Archives may be found on sally.UTEXAS.EDU. The current volume may be retreived by anonymous ftp (login anonymous, password guest) as ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix, while the previous volumes may be retrieved as ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v1, ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v2, etc., through 5. The volume with the AT&T public domain getopt(3) is ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v3. Finally, remember that any remarks by any committee member (especially including me) in this newsgroup do not represent any position (including any draft, proposed or actual, of the standard) of the committee as a whole, unless explicitly stated otherwise in such remarks.
