std-unix@ut-sally.UUCP (Moderator, John Quarterman) (01/01/86)
This is the first article in Volume 5 of mod.std.unix/std-unix. These volumes are strictly for administrative convenience. This one starts now because I mailed copies of Volumes 3 and 4 to the P1003 committee chair with my ballot on the Trial Use Standard (I'm the representative of USENIX on the P1003 committee). Paper copies of volumes 1 and 2 had been delivered previously and several committee members 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.

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. 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.
