The IEEE P1003 Portable Operating Systems Environment Committee
(note the name change to avoid using the trademarked word UNIX)
met in Tyson's Corner Virginia (just outside of Washington D.C.)
last week. A number of things were accomplished, many of which
I will report on in this newsgroup. Among them are relations
with the X3J11 C standards committee, access to the P1003 draft
standard, various issues relating to specific sections of the
current draft, and the schedule for further meetings and balloting.
A couple of people have complained that digest format is inappropriate
for this newsgroup. Since the volume is, ah, shall we say, low,
I don't have any strong feeling one way or the other. So, from
now on mod.std.unix will not use digest format. If you have
an opinion one way or the other, mail a note to std-unix-request.
I'm also not going to post all the access information in every article.
Here it is once, and I'll probably repeat it now and then.
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 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 is
volume 2, this is the first article in it, and it may be retrieved by
anonymous ftp (login anonymous, password guest) as ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix,
while the previous volume may be retrieved as ~ftp/pub/mod.std.unix.v1.
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.
Volume-Number: Volume 2, Number 1
