[comp.sys.ibm.pc] IBM's Common Software Interface specification

craig@unicus.UUCP (Craig D. Hubley) (12/18/87)

At Comdex, IBM announced that their specification for a common software
interface (like the Macintosh's user interface guidelines) would be made
available to developers in December.  Have they done this yet ?
Where would I get ahold of it ?  What are the best sources of interface
standards information ?  Does this standard apply only to OS/2 or does
it go further (covering IBM's own MS-DOS programs)?  

Other OS/2 questions:

	Did OS/2 1.0 actually ship on December 4 ?  Was it buggy ?

	Does anyone know anything, or can I be pointed to references,
	about the communications capabilities of the Extended OS/2
	supposedly due in July ?

I'll be glad to summarize and post to the net any information I receive.
